Congratulations to the graduates of the 2024 Laborers Supervisory Development Program (LSDP)! Developed jointly between AGC of Minnesota and LIUNA Minnesota & North Dakota, this program takes participants through all six of AGC's Supervisory Training Program (STP) units as classroom study, and on the job training through the Laborers, providing immediate, real world experience related to each classroom unit. The five graduates featured here work with Carl Bolander & Sons, McGough, Knutson Construction Services, and Mortenson.

AGC's Director of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Yolanda Y McIntosh is the featured speaker on this free webinar next Tuesday, and will also be the keynote at the Lived Experience Collective Convening in November. Tune in to hear her story!

“Imagine that you’re in their boots working in the roadway and you have a vehicle zooming by you at 80 miles an hour,” said Laura Ziegler with the Associated General Contractors of Minnesota. “Imagine that is your family member. Imagine that is your friend working there, and slow down and minimize the distractions.” https://lnkd.in/ecSR_vW8
