STC Shapes Builders of Tomorrow with Its Construction Supervision Program
South Texas College’s Construction Supervision Program recently held a Construction TradesExpo at their Technology Campus in McAllen, Texas, on April 24th. The event showcased exhibits from local construction professionalswho shared their expertise with students from the program.
The Construction Supervision Program at STC aims to expand and enhance the educational opportunities for students. The program is dedicated to training students to not only provide for their families but also to contribute positively to the growth of the Rio Grande Valley. Their mission is to transform the construction industry one student at a time by empowering them to succeed in their own projects, whether working for others or themselves.
The program offers both a one-year certificate and a two-year Associates degree, covering everything from materials and building codes to construction methods. STC collaborates closely with its Advisory Board to leverage their industry expertise to improve the program. A key component of the curriculum is teaching students the importance of giving back to the community. This is achieved through partnerships with veterans’ groups, local organizations like Mi Casita, and previous collaborations with Habitat for Humanity and ProyectoDesarrollo Humano.
STC is committed to further developing the program and encourages support from community professionals to enhance the construction trades and the educational program itself.
