New Foreman Development Course

Words: Greg Brown

As the construction industry continues to change, so should the ways that standout employees make their way upward in organizations. The MCAA has responded by working with masonry industry leaders from across the country to redevelop the popular Foreman Development Course. 


The course is designed to help both newer and experienced foremen evolve and find success in their respective roles.


Why should I send my Foreman? In this Foreman Development Course, the following be covered: 

  • Defining Foreman of the Past vs. Foreman of the Future
  • New Concepts and Systems 
  • Technology's Importance 
  • Foreman Role in Contracts and Estimating 
  • Financial Management and Proper Communication 
  • Budgeting and Tracking 
  • Communication and New Communication Tools 
  • Time Management 
  • Quality Assurance and Cost Impacts of Bad QA 
  • Project and Employee Tracking 

Attendees should leave with the tips and tricks of the trade taught by the best and feel empowered in their role. The course was re-developed and taught by three very experienced masons. This course will be held on Sunday, January 16, 2022, and Monday, January 17, 2022, from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm.
