The CMAA Foundation is pleased to announce the pilot of a new program to support workforce development in the Construction and Program Management profession (CM/PM): the Faculty Residency Program. The Residency program is a partnership between the CMAA Foundation, the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC), and CMAA-member organizations (service providers and owners).
The residencies are intended to contribute to the development of the future workforce by investing in faculty to further build bridges between academia and the program and construction management profession. The knowledge, network and expertise faculty can impart to practitioners and vice versa is as valuable as the experience faculty residents will be able to share with students.
The pilot program will recruit two faculty members to work with CMAA-member organizations.
This program is managed by the Foundation. Residents will be supported financially by a combination of a Foundation stipend and temporary employment by the host organization.
Criteria:
To serve as a host for the pilot, your organization must:
- Be an organizational member of CMAA (owner or service provider)
- Be able to host the resident as a part-time and or temporary employee of the organization and to provide them with necessary credentials and tools for participating as a member of the organizational team.
- Be able to assign a practitioner as a partner who will supervise the experience within the organization and also join the educator in teaching and student learning development during the residency and beyond.
- Be able to provide experiences either across a specific program or a variety of projects or by focusing on a particular aspect of professional practice (e.g., uses of BIM, risk management, or health and safety).
Instructions:
