Pat Peachey, CIT, credits much of the knowledge that she gained through Construction Industry Technician (CIT) course and other educational programs offered by the NAWIC Education Foundation (NEF)  as the reason she was promoted from receptionist to contracts administrator.

"As a result, I have become the 'go to' person at my company for contract review," she said.

One of the things that Peachey would point out to people who are considering taking the CIT course is that it is full of informaiton that a student may not know.

The Builders Exchange Network is responsible for providing bidding information to the construction industry on thousands of projects every day.  It’s critical that our employees understand this information and what it means to local contractors.

The CIT program provides the most clear and comprehensive explanation of the construction process that we could find anywhere in the industry. We are so impressed with the program that we hope to get all of our construction news reporters certified within the next three years.

"As a new graduate with an accounting degree, my firm enrolled me in NEF's Construction Industry Technician certification program.  I found that this course provided me with a broad understanding of the construction industry which helped me greatly in understanding and relating to the work environment of our constructin clients."
