  • Hands-On Activities: Participants and students will collaboratively demonstrate job-related skills, installing piping, utilizing GPS Systems in relation to excavation and utility construction, exposure to computer programs associated with estimating and bidding work, virtual reality equipment simulation, in a controlled environment.
