EDUCATION

COURSE SCHEDULE COURSES WITH CREDITS GET INVOLVED


2013 marks the seventh year of the BX Rising Leaders Institute with the largest class of 32 participants!

The Rising Leaders Institute provides intensive, high level business education and leadership training to the construction industry’s future top managers. The program features a curriculum developed for the Builders Exchange by The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business. Sessions are instructed by OSU faculty members along with industry leaders.

The Rising Leaders Institute, supported by a grant from the Builders Exchange Foundation, is an intensive program focused on building management skills and business knowledge of high potential individuals, and preparing them to serve as the future leaders in the construction industry. Participants are required to have a champion from their company, a manager who will act as a mentor to the student throughout the program.  

For more information about the Rising Leaders Institute, contact Melanie Kitchen (ext. 21) at the Exchange.
