The Utah Department of Transportation has launched a new Construction Training Program (CTP) to promote workforce excellence and quality construction. This multiyear training curriculum allows UDOT employees and industry partners to learn side by side to gain the knowledge and skills required to work safely and efficiently on projects.
The CTP launched on Jan. 1, 2026, for Level I and Level II technicians. Additional content for Level III and Level IV technicians became available on Feb. 1. The program is designed to equip workers with necessary skills to deliver high quality projects and improve over time.
While many requirements remain the same as the previous program, the CTP offers more than just on-the-job learning. The curriculum engages Level III and Level IV Technicians to provide crew training and requires the demonstration of skills mastery to advance to the next level.
The program aims to support the mission to Keep Utah Moving through comprehensive curricula. Resources available for the program include a CTP Manual, a CTP Roadmap for UDOT, and a CTP Roadmap for industry partners, alongside a FAQ section and registration options.
For questions concerning the CTP, individuals can contact Cory Bekkemellom at ctp@utah.gov.
