Building Futures: Inside Laredo College’s Construction Management Dual Program

LAREDO, Tex. (Hola Laredo) -

At Laredo College South Campus, students aren’t just studying construction — they’re building it. Through the Construction Management Dual Program, participants receive both technical training and management experience, preparing them for real-world careers in one of the region’s most essential industries.

We caught up with students as they constructed a small shack from the ground up — practicing every step of the building process with a strong emphasis on safety, teamwork, and project planning. From framing and foundation to finishes, students take part in the entire construction cycle while learning how to manage a job site efficiently.

This unique program blends classroom instruction with practical, on-site learning — a powerful combination that ensures students graduate job-ready with the skills to lead and build.

With programs like this, it’s clear: amazing opportunities are being built right here at Laredo College.
