Terra State Community College has expanded to provide a new program and certificate. The construction technology program will begin by offering a utility construction installer certificate.
“Terra State is excited to launch the new utility construction installer certificate. This program was made possible by support from our partners at Kenneth G. Myers Construction, the Power and Communication Contractors Association, and the Wireless Infrastructure Association,” said Dr. Andrew Shella, dean of the technology and skilled trades division.
The program will prepare students to apply basic engineering principles, technical skills and standard construction practices in support of engineers, construction contractors and other professionals in construction.
