“Mountainland Technical College (MTECH), in partnership with Clyde Companies, has launched a cutting-edge Civil Construction Certificate Program to meet Utah’s urgent need for skilled laborers in the growing infrastructure and construction sectors. Backed by Talent Ready Utah’s Utah Works grant, the program addresses industry-wide shortages through short-term, stackable credential pathways that equip new and existing workers with the foundational and technical skills necessary for immediate employment and long-term advancement.
The program includes two stackable 120-hour certificates—Civil Construction I for entry-level fundamentals and Civil Construction II for specialization in earthwork, utilities, concrete, and layout technology. Designed in close collaboration with industry experts, the curriculum embeds hands-on training, heavy equipment simulation, and site visits. Clyde Companies has committed to sponsoring tuition, providing bonuses, and prioritizing hiring and promotion for completers.
This employer-aligned model demonstrates how construction companies can invest in workforce pipelines while improving retention, productivity, and job site safety—offering a replicable approach for other firms and sectors facing critical workforce gaps.”
