| PROGRAM: Paving the Way into the Future Mark Wece, Highway Construction Careers Training Program (HCCTP) Coordinator at John A Logan College HCCTP was established by Illinois Department of Transportation in 2009 to help increase the number of minorities, females and disadvantaged individuals working on IDOT highway construction projects. The program consists of 450 hours of intensive training in both a classroom and hands-on environment. Students take a “Math for the Trades” class, a Job/Life Skills class that teaches them how to prepare a resume, create a personal portfolio, and practice their interview skills. The hands-on portion of the training typically involves pouring concrete sidewalks, constructing playgrounds, dog parks, pole barns, and just about any other community project we can find. This type of learning environment prepares the students to learn the skills necessary to apply into the various highway construction trades as an apprentice. About our Speaker: Mark Wece, is the Highway Construction Careers Training Program (HCCTP) Coordinator at John A Logan College. He spent 33 years working for Illinois Department of Transportation as a draftsman, surveyor, construction inspector, Resident Technician on numerous road and bridge construction projects, and as an Operations Supervisor maintaining state roadways. After retiring from IDOT in October of 2018, I began as HCCTP Coordinator for John A Logan College in November 2018. EVENT AGENDA:
