Safety & Educational Training
Tri-Cities AGC is committed to playing a stronger role in addressing the need for a trained construction workforce. As skilled tradesmen and field personnel are nearing retirement age at an alarming rate, we realize our industry has workforce challenges; therefore, we are striving to meet the need of educating and retaining young people in a career in construction.  We have a close, working relationship with the Construction Technology Department at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee.
