| 20-year anniversary of Turner School of Construction Management  This year, Turner Construction Company commemorates the firm's 20th Year Anniversary of the Turner School of Construction Management program in the Florida area.Turner has offered Turner School classes across Florida since 1993 and has graduated more than 1,800 small business owners from the program. The School helps small businesses - particularly those that are woman- and minority-owned - develop their managerial, administrative and technical skills. The courses help participants win major contracts, including work with Turner, and build a network of their peers, which can lead to fruitful joint venture and association partnerships. Since the program's establishment in 1969, there have been 34, 000 graduates of the Turner School program across the nation and it has helped Turner build successful long-term relationships with minority – and women – owned business enterprises (MWBEs), generating more than 62, 000 contracts with a value of $21.1 billion in volume. The 20 year milestone will be celebrated throughout 2013. Turner plans to host Turner School courses in Boca Raton and Orlando during the first half of 2013. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
