This article describes a perceived flaw in the educational model currently followed by universities that provide public works infrastructure education. The products of those schools come into the professional world poorly prepared for the challenges they will meet. The lack of a broader education hampers the typical graduate’s opportunities to advance into the ranks of management in the public sector. Many organizations fill that gap by mentoring and supporting additional education for promising staff. The author suggests a program both to identify those who have the capability to excel in management early in their education and to direct them into a course of study that would provide them with the education and skills now lacking. Such a program would produce graduates equipped to become the “new age public works managers” of the future.
