MCAA’s GreatFutures Virtual Fall Program

MCAA’s GreatFutures Virtual Fall Program

September 15, 2020 - November 17, 2020

$0

Description:

MCAA will be hosting live sessions each week, available to all students, faculty advisors and MCAA members, beginning September 15 through November 17.

The program is aimed to help give the next generation of mechanical contracting leaders a deeper understanding of the industry and the ins and outs of creating a construction bid. Each session will be taught by MCAA industry leaders and navigate students through the competition project with online instructional sessions focused on components of a real-world contracting bid.

Included in this program will be the annual MCAA Student Chapter Competition, which will be released virtually to student chapters through Procore. The competition gives students the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom by creating a bid for a real-life mechanical construction project.
