Earlier this month, 27 construction industry professionals and Pittsburg State University (PSU) students attended the Kansas Technology Center to become certified, and in some cases re-certified, as Grade 1 Field Testing Technicians. The workshop, which takes place twice a year and is sponsored by the American Concrete Institute, is part of PSU’s Kansas Center for Construction Advancement (KCCA), a program that aims to promote and enhance careers in construction. The KCCA mission includes working with K-12 and community college educators as well as professionals.
