The Joseph P. Keefe Technical School (Keefe Tech") (www.jpkeefe-elearning.org) is helping the State of Massachusetts increase its number of licensed construction supervisors by offering an online, exam preparation course that prospective construction supervisors can fit into their busy schedules.
FRAMINGHAM, MA (PRWEB) August 26, 2004 -– Anyone who has had a new home built in the past few years understands the challenge in finding qualified, licensed professionals. With mortgage rates remaining low, the residential construction labor force will likely continue to be stretched thin in trying to keep pace with the demand for single family homes. It is not surprising that Keefe Techs existing classroom construction supervisors course has been filled to capacity in recent years. The school is now turning to the Internet to satisfy the demand of its student base, while providing additional flexibility that can only be offered through a web-based course.
According to Peter Dewar, Superintendent-Director of Keefe Tech, The needs of our students are changing and we must adapt to meet those needs. By delivering courses via the Internet using WSI Collaborative Solutions (www.wsics.com) Global Learning System (GLS), we are able to provide our students with the ultimate flexibility, allowing them to complete courses based on their own schedule, not ours." In addition to the convenience factor, there are significant savings for the student in recouping the time and money typically spent traveling to and from the classroom.
Its a win-win for all involved. Keefe Techs e-Learning Solution has eliminated traditional barriers such as distance and schedule, and enabled the school to extend its student reach, making the course available to all prospective construction supervisors in the State. The construction supervisor course is the first of many online courses that will be offered by Keefe Tech. As stated by Peter Dewar, Keefe Tech continues to transform itself to meet the demands of its students. Offering courses online is just another step in the transformation process. To meet the demands of a continuously learning society, we will provide education that matters, when it matters."
