Foundations of Field Leadership Online: Registration Deadline December 30th!

December 9, 2024

If you want to fast-track your new and aspiring field leaders in 2025, MCAA has just the program! Foundations of Field Leadership begins January 8th. Once a week for 8 weeks, students spend 90 minutes online with an experienced field leader, who walks them through best practices and practical strategies for running work and running a crew. From Planning to Leadership, from Documentation to Safety: our instructors break down the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ of things that every foreman must understand to be successful. Don’t let this exciting opportunity for new and future field leaders pass you by. Sign your people up today!

The weekly courses include real-time student interaction, quizzes, and short video assignments.

Here’s what our 2024 grads had to say about their experience in Foundations of Field Leadership:  

  • “Very easy to listen to the instructor, very knowledgeable and personable.”
  • “I like learning from someone with a lot of experience and learning how to do the job more efficiently.”
  • “I appreciated [the instructor’s] content. I’ve been in the trade for 25 years and have only been running work for the last three years. I’ve either been in or around all the situations [the instructor] spoke about and appreciated his insight. Great ways to handle things.”
  • “The information was delivered clearly and was easy to understand. It gave everyone the chance to apply their thoughts and comments.”
  • “[I appreciated the instructor] acknowledging the fact that being in this class is a step forward in my career, and it feels good to know my hard work and dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed by my company.”

There is no limit on how many new or potential field leaders an MCAA member can enroll, but registration will be done on a first-come, first-served basis.
