The Construction Site Supervisor diploma program supplements the existing Carpentry program at Alexandria Technical College and enables those students to pursue an additional award option focusing on supervision, management and advanced training in the construction of concrete and block foundation. Increased state mandates on safety and ever-changing building codes necessitate workers with more than just building construction skills. Students complete this diploma with a course preparing them to take the Minnesota Contractor’s License test. Having a contractor’s license aids students in obtaining higher paying careers with more opportunities for advancement in Minnesota. The Diploma programs range from 30 to 72 semester credits and focus primarily on technical courses.
