Growth through project management: A new course presented by Breakthrough Academy for Buildertrend

Breakthrough Academy was created to help construction pros like you evolve from being a doer of all things to a builder of smart systems and a leader of great people. Its coaches work with construction business owners to help them create systems that promote business growth. Since its start, Breakthrough Academy has established some of the industry’s best standard operating procedures, hiring frameworks and other valuable project management resources. The team at Breakthrough Academy understands that building a lucrative construction business takes hard work and dedication.

And that’s why our teams work so well together – we at Buildertrend are passionate about the same thing. Our end goal is to ensure construction professionals are set up for long-term success and continued growth.

We’ve partnered with Breakthrough Academy in the past to bring you content that includes how to scale your business to eight figures and tips for handling change management.

But we’re not stopping there.

With the help of Breakthrough Academy, we’re adding an all-new project management course to Buildertrend Learning Academy – our one-stop shop for online education. This course will give our customers a no-BS roadmap for cohesive construction projects, happier clients and a bigger bottom line.

Here’s a brief outline of what you can expect to learn about in the course.
