SC&RF Completing Research on Workforce Development

(October 19,2022) - Did you know the SC&RF (Specialized Carriers & Rigging Foundation) has since invested nearly $1 million in workforce development and education, and over half a million dollars in industry-specific research to benefit SC&RA member companies and provide an advocacy platform for the Association? And now, in 2022, one of the foremost research projects SC&RF has been working diligently to complete and present to members and the industry is a white paper titled: The State of the Workforce in the Crane, Rigging and Specialized Transport Industry. With a target release date of Q1 2023, the white paper is the culmination of a data-collection process in Q3 2021. “The results are now in the Research Committee’s hands, and they are providing commentary and further analysis,” indicated SC&RF Director, Jackie Roskos. “Containing approximately forty-five graphs and charts to go with additional findings, the aim of the research is to provide us all with a high-level view of the workforce: what is important to members, what do and don’t we know, what do we need to know and how can we leverage that information?” Additionally, explained Roskos, the research also examines executive-level revenue production, employee roles and tenure, as well as turnover and retention, among other data points. Ultimately available to SC&RA members, the industry and even government and educational organizations, Roskos emphasized that the white paper will allow companies to benchmark and compare their current workforce trends with the data.
