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 match two faculty members with CMAA-member organizations that are service providers. One is headquartered in the Chicago Metro area; the other is located in the MidAtlantic region and headquartered in Northern Virginia.
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.
