Many of the leaders in the crane and rigging industry have been a part of the industry for most of their lives. Their career destiny was greatly determined by the family business they grew up working for, and many probably never considered another career path. Until the last 10 years, the industry's workforce could be sustained through family businesses recruiting workers through family and their regional networks. But things have changed. The labor pool has shrunk, and its time to get serious about recruiting new workers. That's just what the SC&RA, KHL Group (publisher of ACT) and NCCCO are doing. Last month we launched a new event to promote careers in the industry. Lift & Move USA will be held June 16-17 at the Chicago Marriott Midway. The program will provide high school students and young people studying at community and technical colleges with expert advice on careers and job opportunities working with crane rental companies, specialized transportation businesses and OEMs.
