CIC ORGANIZATION

CIC ORGANIZATION

Careers in Construction Colorado operates in across the state using the Chapter and Satellite model. CICC Chapters are trade associations in the construction industry that support schools by facilitating the program, bringing  industry partners into the classroom, and hiring program graduates.  Satellite schools are rural schools that do not have a nearby supporting trade association or supporting organization; therefore, are directly supported by Careers in Construction Colorado

Careers in Construction Colorado operates in all four corners of the state using the Chapter and Satellite model. CICC Chapters are trade associations in the construction industry that support schools by facilitating the program, bringing  industry partners into the classroom, and hiring program graduates.  Satellite schools are rural schools that do not have a nearby trade association or supporting organization.
