Educating the Industry
Continuing Education
The South Florida AGC education and training
programs are designed to meet both the general
and specific needs of today's contractor.
Recruiting, training, retraining, and the
continuing education of employees are some
of the primary concerns of the construction
industry. Our mission is simple: Attract,
educate and train the best and the brightest.
This is crucial to the growth of our industry.
SFAGC continues to expand our resources
to meet the ever-growing needs of the industry.
We provide a number of educational and training
programs designed to benefit our members.
CEU - Continuing Education Unit
Long before any other industry association
purported to provide educational programs,
AGC was there. While far too many "educational
providers" have been perpetuated by
loose Continuing Education licensing laws,
AGC is still the leader in providing expert,
knowledgeable and up-to-date education for
members who need to meet their statutory
requirements, all of which are available "on-line".

CEU Classes now available” banner

STP - Supervisory Training Programs
The AGC of America "Supervisor Training
Program", one of the most acclaimed
programs of its kind in the world, is a
featured series of programs training the
construction leaders of tomorrow. Click

Leadership Development
Few other construction groups have provided
more nationally recognized industry leaders
than AGC. From 1956 National AGC President
Frank J. Rooney and still today, South Florida
contractors are developing the construction
leaders for our nation into the future.
We train those leaders with many different
programs, including the nationally recognized "Leadership
Development Conference".
YCF - Young Constructors Forum - Developing Future Leaders
The YCF functions as a forum in which anyone
can network, socialize, and exchange ideas
on issues facing mid-career construction
professionals. The YCF is open to all interested
members without the need of a formal appointment
process. To ensure direction and focus,
the YCF has a steering committee, a chair
and vice chair. The steering committee membership
rotates on a regular three-year basis, taking
into account geographic and industry issues.
Purpose:
- To be an open forum to exchange ideas.
- To be an entry vehicle into AGC to
promote new member involvement.
- To foster a strong network among peers.
- To create and promote industry innovation.
- To discuss the most important issues
and provide feedback to AGC leadership.
- To help structure AGC for the future.
