Feedback from the survey pointed
to four main areas that AGC members wanted us to focus on: leadership (65% said this was important), safety (61% indicated it was important), project management (58%), and communication (50%). Tese results lined up with previous member feedback regarding the need for strong workforce development programs. We want to make sure our
members are getting the develop- mental programs they need to be successful, so AGC of California is partnering with new and existing trainers to not only provide the quality programing you could expect from

As such, AGC of California is working with its regional managers to identify new locations within the various districts to hold training programs. We are also developing new training that will be available via webinar, so that members will be able to attend training programs from their computer or smart device rather than needing to drive to a location.
