Over the last several decades, the world, and more specifically the construction industry, have changed a lot. Members’ needs have changed, how we do business, and the types of technology used, have also changed. However, one thing does not change; we are not born knowing everything. We need to be lifelong learners, and our businesses need to be learning organizations. This has never been more true than now. We are in a period of rapid change in ideas, technology, materials, and building techniques at the same time as we are recruiting workers into the industry. AGCVA is the go-to source for the training support members need.
"Innovation, Safety, and Leadership: AGCVA's Recipe for Workforce Success"
A skilled and knowledgeable workforce is the foundation of a thriving construction industry. As the current AGCVA Chair, I am proud to spotlight the wide array of training programs AGCVA offers to elevate the skills and safety of our members.
AGCVA’s training initiatives cater to the diverse needs of contractors, trade professionals, and industry leaders across the Commonwealth. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a newcomer to the field, AGCVA provides tailored programs that empower you to succeed in an ever-evolving industry.
Leadership Development
AGCVA’s Leadership Development programs are designed to build the next generation of industry leaders. Courses such as the Construction Supervision Fundamentals (CSF), Superintendent Training Program (STP), and Project Manager Development Program (PMDP) foster critical skills like effective communication, conflict resolution, risk management, and scheduling and planning, all enabling participants to lead their teams with confidence and competence.

Our programs not only save lives but also help companies reduce costs and build a safety-first culture.
