Workforce Development

At SC&RA, we recognize how challenging, exciting and rewarding a career in the crane, rigging and specialized transportation industry can be. The SC&RA Strategic Plan recognizes workforce development as a key initiative – with an emphasis on supporting and equipping members with the means to attract and retain a quality workforce.

We also appreciate that just about every sector within the skilled trades is struggling to find and/or keeping quality talent. We’re inspired on a daily basis by how our valued members around the world have met the skilled-worker shortage head on with flexibility, innovation and, at times, basic grit. Which is why we’re also working hard to do our part.

Lift & Move USA

We continue to cultivate, promote and fund Lift & Move USA. Organized by SC&RA, KHL, NCCCO, SC&RF and in cooperation with SkillsUSA, Lift & Move comprises four premier events around the country per year – hosted by major players in the industry and aimed at high school and college students as well as veterans. The event showcases all the opportunities available to build a rewarding, long-term career in the construction and specialized transport industries.
