Construction Association Expands Education Programs

Today at the Construction Centre of PEI, construction asso- ciation general manager Francis Reid announced the implementa- tion of a new Management Tele- course, to be made available to association members and to the general public. the course is en- titled “The Business of Manage- ment” and its format is a se- ries of:twenty-six lessons to be presented in half hour segments through Island Cablevision.

“OUr Association has always been committed to continuing education” stated Mr. Reid, “but what is exciting about this course, besides quality, is that it will be more easily accessible to people.
