Continuing its mission to provide the crane industry with valuable tools and resources to expose, identify, and recruit the next generation of employees, the NCCCO Foundation published a new research report entitled “Exploring Occupations Similar to Crane Operators and Other Related Roles.”
The NCCCO Foundation is a charitable organization formed in 2018 to promote industry safety through education, research, and workforce development.
This new report is the second research report developed in partnership with the Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO) and addresses four key questions facing the crane industry:
- What occupations are best positioned to transition to the crane industry?
- What occupations employ people with the skills, personal characteristics, and ability to work in similar environments that would allow them to be successful in the crane industry?
- What occupations perform similar tasks to workers in the crane industry?
- How can knowledge of occupations similar to those in the crane industry be used to (a) improve recruitment, (b) facilitate outreach, and (c) enhance career development?
“Research like this has never been undertaken for the crane industry. It provides insights and answers that are both interesting and applicable,” explained T.J. Cantwell, Executive Director of the NCCCO Foundation. “We are excited about how the crane industry will be able to use this report to inform new places and roles they can look for potential quality candidates.”
The research report is available for free download on the NCCCO Foundation website at https://www.ncccofoundation.org/research/workforce-research-similar-occupations/.
The NCCCO Foundation is also hosting a webinar on Wednesday, May 21, @ Noon EST, featuring a senior researcher at HumRRO who will provide a brief overview of the report and key findings. The researcher will be joined by a recruiter who works with clients to fill a variety of roles in the construction industry.
