Sacramento State - NECA Student Chapter
The Sacramento State Construction Management Program has achieved a great deal since it formed. Since its inception, the team has participated in the ASC competition, winning four national championships. In 2018 the team took 1st place in the Electrical portion of the competition, marking their fifth year in a row placing in this national championship.
The NECA/IBEW Annual Drive Fore Charities, a fund raiser hosted by the Sacramento Chapter of NECA and the IBEW Local 340 with the participation of students, was a huge success in 2018.
Many students who have completed the program have chosen to return as advisors and coaches for the current students. The team has achieved a 100% employment rate for students who have completed the program since 2011, with 30 students now working for NECA contractors, while those still enrolled in the program have internships with various NECA contractors. The students are given the opportunity to learn the industry and experience real world construction problems while determining how to handle them. Our student chapter provides students with working knowledge, practical experience, and, most importantly, careers.
