The CURT Young Professionals Network
The CURT Young Professionals are the VOICE of the next generation of the construction industry – Owners, Contractors, Engineers, and Designers. The primary purpose of CURT’s Young Professionals committee is to promote the goals of the Construction Users Roundtable, to foster influential networks of Owner and Construction Organizations, and to assist in the development of the industry’s young talent.
They focus on building meaningful relationships, identifying development needs of the construction workforce, and presenting opportunities for improving the way we build. The Young Professionals committee strives to engage upcoming leaders within the construction industry to enable effective collaboration between current and future industry professionals and provide a forum to develop the young professionals of today into effective leaders of tomorrow.
