MBA is committed to providing the best resources and information in order to enhance performance and career development opportunities for individuals, member firms, and the Western Pennsylvania construction industry. MBA achieves its education goals with assistance from active MBA Committees such as the Affiliate Council, the AIA-MBA Joint Committee, the Risk Management Committee, and the Young Constructors.

MBA also relies on The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) in the education of construction professionals. To deliver its message, the AGC features the Education e-Forum, an email communication tool designed for members and chapter staff to liaison concerns in training and development issues. For more information on this e-Forum, and how to join, click here.

CAP Annual Scholarship

In the field of education, providing annual scholarships to students in the University of Pittsburgh's Engineering Department is something near and dear to CAP. In the early 1990's CAP responded to an inquiry from Pitt's Engineering Department to do a needs assessment of the construction community so that the University of Pittsburgh could expand its engineering studies into areas that would improve the skills and the marketability of its graduates. The CAP Board of Trustees worked with university faculty to help set goals for what is now the University of Pittsburgh Construction Management Program.
