CONCRETE MANAGEMENT

The concrete construction industry is ripe with career opportunities for college students who want more than a cookie-cutter degree program. If you also have a passion for building, the Concrete Management program at Motlow State Community College is just what you are looking for.

Motlow’s University Parallel Associate of Science (A.S.) degree with emphasis in Concrete Management is designed to transfer to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) for a bachelor’s degree in Concrete Industry Management or Construction Management.

Students working at the associate degree level can expect to be more on the production side of the business. Most jobs require concrete workers to relocate as projects are completed.

Graduates can pursue careers in an array of construction and building fields as well as manufacturing, marketing, planning, production management, purchasing management, quality control, and technical sales. Jobs are also available with concrete ready-mix producers and companies that make concrete products.
