Albany Tech plans construction/engineering open house

ALBANY — Albany Technical College announced Tuesday that an open house hosted by the Construction, Manufacturing, Transportation, and Engineering division will be held on Thursday from 4:30-6:30 p.m. in the Carlton Construction Academy. The event is themed “From Concept to Creation: A Journey into Construction and Engineering Technology.”

Prospective students and community members are invited to explore and learn about the diverse range of programs, including Civil Engineering, Electronics Technology, Engineering Graphics, Air Conditioning Technology, Masonry NCCER, Carpentry NCCER and Electrical NCCER, Albany Tech officials said.

While all are welcome, the college is making a concerted effort to reach out to females interested in pursuing careers within the construction and engineering sectors. Albany Tech is particularly encouraging females interested in charting their careers within the Construction and Engineering fields. The college recognizes the immense potential and diverse perspectives they can bring to these traditionally male-dominated sectors.

Lynn Miller, the dean of Construction, Manufacturing, Transportation, and Engineering at ATC, emphasized the evolving landscape of the construction and engineering sectors, stating, “The need for construction workers is not only a national issue but a regional one. With a significant portion of our work force nearing retirement, we must usher in a new wave of young, diverse talent. Our programs are geared toward ensuring our graduates are ready for these dynamic industries, and we’re thrilled to present this journey from concept to creation at our open house.”

For more information about the open house or the programs available, contact Miller by calling (229) 430-2812 or via email at [email protected].
