Program Description

The Concrete Technology program at TMCC gives you a broad-based understanding of the technology of concrete. You also learn trouble- shooting techniques to handle problems often encountered by finishers.

Concrete Tech students build on this educational foundation by working on-site in completing a concrete project.

This occupation is expected to experience much faster than average employment growth with a high volume of annual job openings. Business expansion, as opposed to the need for replacements, will provide the majority of job openings in the coming decade. Job opportunities for cement masons are expected to be good, particularly for those with more experience and skills.

During peak construction periods, employers report difficulty in finding workers with the right skills, because many qualified jobseekers often prefer work that is less strenuous and has more comfortable working conditions. Students who take concrete-related courses at technical schools will have the best job opportunities. Compared to all occupations, wages for this occupation are average.

Median Hourly Wage - $17.45

Annual Mean wage - $36,670
