From Open-Shop Training to New NCCER Goal: Reaching For the ‘Stars’ - ENR \| McGraw-Hill Construction Publication Date: 03-SEP-08 Author: Debra K. Rubin, with Deb Wood Format: HTML

Description:
Pamela Charles got her foot in the door for a construction trade that pays twice what she earned as a lab technician in Port Arthur, Texas. Boyd Worsham wants to show high school students not planning on college how they can still progress into the industry’s executive suite, just as he did. Defense contractor Carole Bionda needs to hire trained craft specialists who are ready to fill project spots now, and Jonathan Yarbrough’s schedule to finish his fast-tracked mega-refinery doesn’t leave much time to verify the skills of his contractor’s workers or train them over again.
