Grants Available to Assist Companies with Training Costs

(March 22,2023 ) - The skilled labor gap in the lifting, rigging and specialized transportation industry is significant and growing. The SC&RF (Specialized Carriers & Rigging Foundation) has unveiled a new Company Training (CT) Grant which offers financial assistance to ease the burden on companies who are training multiple employees. If you have employees who need training or certification, such as, OSHA, mechanical, rigging or safety— you are encouraged to apply for a grant for financial assistance with the SC&RF. 
 
Applications are open to SC&RA member companies only as an exclusive benefit and are also intended for the training of 2+ employees. The training could include mechanics, welding, rigging, project management, software training (new systems), driver school or crane operator certification. 
 
Rolling selection and review occurs as applications are received and awarded until annual funds are depleted. Details and a link to the application is available at https://scr-foundation.org/ct-grant/.
