NCCCO publishes new report to help recruit crane industry personnel

Continuing its mission to provide the crane industry with tools and resources to expose, identify and recruit the next generation employees, the NCCCO Foundation published a new research report titled, “Exploring Occupations Similar to Crane Operators and Other Related Roles.”

“Exploring Occupations Similar to Crane Operators and Other Related Roles” is the latest report published by the NCCCO Foundation.

The 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 compared to workers in the crane industry?
• How can knowledge of the 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,” said 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/.
