Malden, MA – Mark DiNapoli, Suffolk Construction’s northeast president, joined Lt. Governor Timothy Murray at the launch of YourPlanForCollege.org, the Commonwealth’s no-cost, one-stop, college and career planning portal now available for all students in Massachusetts.
DiNapoli, an appointee to Governor Deval Patrick’s Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) Education Advisory Council, spoke with students, educators and
government officials about future job opportunities in the innovation economy, and the need for college planning to capitalize on those opportunities.
“The construction industry today is much different than it was when I went to college,” stated
DiNapoli. “At Suffolk, we can build entire buildings virtually using computer software, and
iPads have replaced building plans on job sites. We are using technology to transform the industry. To continue to innovate and grow, we’ll need college graduates with more than just good grades—we’ll need leaders with technological curiosity.”
YourPlanForCollege is an initiative of MEFA, in partnership with the Mass. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. Created in 2010 with funding from federal College Access Challenge Grants, YourPlanForCollege is managed by MEFA and powered by ConnectEDU technologies.
