NCCER Looks to Highlight Craft Professionals

The National Center for Construction Education and Research is searching for proud craft professionals who exemplify craftsmanship to be featured in its Cornerstone of Craftsmanship campaign. NCCER is looking to feature individuals who possess a commitment to craftsmanship and the construction industry; craft professionals who have leveraged education and experience to reach the upper hierarchy of their profession, use their skills to give back to the community, and share their knowledge with others; and/or individuals who have followed a family member (or members) into the industry. Basically, individuals who are role models for other craft workers. The campaign is designed to help revive the meaning and importance of craftsmanship and reinstill pride, professionalism, and respect to the construction industry. This campaign spotlights organizations and craft professionals for their commitment to craftsmanship and the industry, while also educating the general public about the construction industry. The campaign consists of print advertisements, profiles of craft professionals, and promotional items. Craft professionals from AGC members Holder Construction and Zachry Construction, as well as an instructor from the Construction Industry Training Council in Washington, have been profiled so far. Learn more about the campaign, see the ads produced to date, and read the profiles. Interested individuals should fill out the profile form and submit a recent photo.For questions, please contact the NCCER marketing department at 352-334-0911 or marketing@nccer.org.
