This one-day course is designed to serve as the core course of AGC’s Prevailing Wage/Davis Bacon Certificate Program. It focuses as much on the HOW of California Prevailing Wage/Federal Davis Bacon Compliance as the WHY. Officials from government, an apprenticeship program, and a fringe benefits program help present this important day of learning.
