On-demand Options

Carolinas AGC is happy to work to provide a wide range of "on-demand" educational opportunities. If we have commitments from at least five individuals in a local area, we will take the initiative to “recruit” additional attendees to reach the minimum number of attendees for each seminar.

Members may request additional dates for events already on the Annual Training Calendar, request any of the listed offerings, or discuss other training needs with Carolinas AGC Staff: Contact the Management Education Director.
