Crane Industry Services, and its partners, announce Trade Up a new skilled labor supply pipeline for contractors. Specializing in preparing workers for most skilled trades in crane operation, construction, heavy industry, and manufacturing, the Trade Up program is part skills-gap assessment, part coordinated training, and part recruitment effort.
Trade Up has immediate openings for up to 12 contractor employers interested in participating in preparation for projects that will require skilled labor in the next six to 18 months.
"Answering the call for skilled labor requires a cohesive and coordinated approach between contractors, industry, and specialty service providers who can help individuals achieve lifelong, reliable careers as skilled craft professionals," said Debbie Dickinson, CEO of CIS. "A multi-pronged approach is the only logical solution to the skilled labor supply shortage," said Peter Krammer, Managing Partner of ELA Consulting Group, a partner in the Trade Up initiative.
