Turner Construction, in partnership with the Associated General Contractors, recently held a graduation ceremony for 34 graduates of the Turner School of Construction Management Program. This course was offered free of charge to small, minority and women owned businesses in the Denver metro area. Turner’s Denver Business Unit has hosted this course for the last 16 years. Courses were led by various business professionals, including Turner staff members, as well as a construction lawyer from Moye White. The Turner School of Construction Management is the oldest community outreach program in Turner’s history. It was initiated in 1969, one year after its affirmative action department was created. It soon became an opportunity to develop strategic business relationships with minority and women-owned firms. The program started in the Cleveland office and was such a success that it has become an annual program held throughout the company. Today, the program is offered in more than 30 Turner business units.
