WSCC - Project Highlight
As the architect and driving force behind the Professionalism in Construction Program at the Western States College of Construction, I was responsible for designing a comprehensive curriculum tailored for leadership development in the union mechanical construction industry. Recognizing the unique needs of this sector, I developed a 64-hour program that integrates seamlessly with qualified apprenticeship hours, ensuring a rich blend of practical experience and professionalism training. The curriculum covers critical leadership topics, including effective communication, trust building, teamwork, conflict management, emotional intelligence, time management, and public speaking—each directly linked to real-world job applications to maximize their impact on career effectiveness.
From concept to execution, I led the program’s rollout, conducting pilot courses and training campus leads to guarantee consistent and high-quality instruction. My leadership was instrumental in securing accreditation for the program, meticulously aligning it with industry and educational standards. Through rigorous assessment and continuous improvement, I ensured that the program not only met but exceeded expectations, preparing participants to earn their Associate Degrees and advance as leaders in Union Mechanical Industry.
Today, the Professionalism in Construction Program continues to thrive under my stewardship, with ongoing delivery and curriculum enhancements across campuses statewide. I remain dedicated to overseeing class audits, instructor development, and material updates to keep the program dynamic and relevant. Thanks to my commitment, the program enjoys a strong reputation for excellence and continues to empower construction professionals throughout Colorado, elevating both individual careers and the industry as a whole.
