The NCCCO<\/a> Foundation is excited to share new research examining where individuals pursuing a career in crane operation lose momentum and what practical actions could strengthen recruitment, preparation, certification progress, and entry into the industry.<\/p>\n

The NCCCO Foundation is hosting a webinar on November 12, 2026, to discuss the research findings.<\/p><\/div>\n

The report developed in partnership with SkillEdge Research and Consulting and Hofstra University is available as a free resource to private companies, unions, training providers, HR professionals, and everyone involved in the recruitment and career development of quality employees into the crane operator profession.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe study shows that interest in crane careers is strong, but that most candidates typically stall between training and certification\u201d, said T.J. Cantwell, NCCCO<\/a> Foundation Executive Director.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report identifies previously unknown barriers to entry into the crane profession and several recommendations for addressing the issues that the Foundation and others can use in our workforce development activities,\u201d Cantwell added.<\/p>\n
