Construction Schools in Massachusetts

The construction industry will see an increase in the number of available jobs leading up to 2018--an estimated growth rate of about 19 percent, to be exact, according to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. The bureau also notes that nearly 70 percent of construction companies employ five workers or fewer, making any specialized training or education in construction that much more imperative for aspiring workers. For those looking to enter the construction field in the state of Massachusetts, a number of construction schools and programs are available.
