Student Organizations provide students the opportunity to learn more about the professional organizations they will encounter in the construction industry.
These organizations also provide students the opportunity to develop their leadership skills by holding officer positions. Students also have the opportunity to engage in service projects and attend local and national meetings.
Student organizations perhaps offer the most experience in collaboration—involving leadership, organization, involvement...they are a great opportunity to learn these skills as young professionals.

Mechanical contractors are always looking for well-educated, talented young people to fill professional positions in project management and business operations. To find these individuals, they turn to universities offering academic programs relating to mechanical construction and service. And they turn first to students they’ve met through the Mechanical Contractors Association of America, Inc.’s (MCAA) student chapter program.
In cooperation with its local affiliated Mechanical Contractors of Georgia, MCAA supports a nationwide network of student chapters in colleges and universities. MCAA’s student chapter program gives students the opportunity to learn about the industry by attending regular meetings with their MCAA local affiliate sponsors, taking field trips to a variety of job sites and facilities, working together on volunteer projects, participating in fundraising events, and more. Everyone involved in MCAA’s Student Chapter program—the students, faculty, MCAA local affiliate sponsors, and contractors—benefits from their investment of time and/or resources.
