Lift & Move USA careers event—an industry initiative aims at promoting job opportunities in crane, rigging and specialized transport industries—is going to be held in Houston (Texas), on February 10, 2016. The event was held for the first time in Chicago in June this year (2015), which was a great success.
This event aims at helping high school students, college students and military veterans prepare for careers in technical and service occupations, including crane operators, CAD design engineers, truck drivers to mechanics. The idea behind the event is to attract skilled personnel towards technical field.
The event is jointly organized by Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA), the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO), and industry publisher KHL Group, owners of American Cranes & Transport magazine. And the Houston Lift & Move will be co-organized in partnership with SC&RA member TNT Cranes & Rigging, whose headquarters at South Loop West freeway, Houston, will host the conference.
“TNT is very excited to partner with SC&RA, NCCCO and KHL for the Houston Lift & Move USA”, said Mike Appling, TNT’s president and CEO. He further added, “The single largest issue facing the crane industry is a shortage of skilled labor. It is imperative that young professionals understand the outstanding career opportunities in crane and rigging”.
“Houston is an activity hot zone for the diversified end markets ranging from refining, petro-chemical, LNG, commercial construction, and more, and therefore a great place to host this event.”
