We are excited to tell you about a special new project!

Construction Technology Program

We are launching new Construction Technology Program. The need for a Construction Technology Program at EWC Converse County faces a persistent housing crisis driven by an influx of temporary workers supporting oil, gas, and renewable energy projects. These workers, due to higher wages and per-diem allowances, occupy the already limited housing, making it increasingly difficult for essential professionals—teachers, nurses, law enforcement officers, and maintenance workers—to find accommodations. A significant factor contributing to this housing shortage is the lack of skilled labor available to build long-term and short-term housing solutions. By investing in workforce development, the Construction Technology Program will directly increase the county’s capacity to build much-needed homes and infrastructure while also providing a skilled workforce for current business and industry growth and expansion.

Help shape the future of construction education! 

Your input and generous support can make a lasting impact on the next generation of skilled professionals. Call us today at 307-534-5410 or email with questions, suggestions or to schedule a meeting, and learn how you can contribute to the success of our new Construction Technology Program. This initiative will play a vital role in workforce development, and we would love for you to join us to learn more about its impact and how you can be part of this transformative opportunity.
