Participant testimonial about Structures (*please note that Structures was offered in a different format in the past):
“As someone new to the sector, Cahdco’s Structures program significantly enhanced my understanding of the project construction lifecycle, from design to completion. Gaining insight into the requirements for each stage and the roles of various stakeholders was particularly valuable. As my organization progresses through these stages, I anticipate that the Structures reference materials will be highly beneficial. Overall, I highly recommend the Structures program to anyone new to the sector or those seeking a refresher on the project construction process. The weekly commitment was manageable, and the learning activities allowed participants to engage deeply with key concepts, making the program an excellent foundation for navigating the complexities of project construction.”
