WEBINAR - About the Lift & Move Workforce Ambassadors: Raising Industry Awareness
RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE!
In 2020, the Lift & Move USA program, known for its live events nationwide, was tasked with developing another vehicle to bring together the community and raise industry awareness for career opportunities in crane, rigging, and specialized transport. The Workforce Ambassadors Program is a group of SC&RA companies committed to raising awareness in their community. This could still be with a live event but could also be through internships, career fairs, or working side-by-side with educators. Discover more about the program and how your company can become involved.
