Overview
Construction projects and their management are capital intensive and very technical. Since residential property construction is speculated to be the most capital intensive investment in the lives of majority of Ghanaians, it is clear that construction projects with the sums of money associated with them require professionals who are on top of their games in managing them. This program thus seeks to train you in the methods of construction and the management of construction projects. Ethical professionals who look out for the safety of construction workers and the community in general by ensuring sustainability in their operations is the hallmark of this program.
Graduates from the program go on to become entrepreneurs by establishing construction firms or firms that supply construction raw materials. They also find themselves in industries where their skills are vital.
