McCarthy Kicks Off Craft Appreciation Week

 McCarthy is dedicating a week to celebrating the firm’s craft professional workforce. From Aug. 29-Sept. 1, the company is hosting events on jobsites across the country to recognize the builder’s more than 4,000 craft professionals while spotlighting the importance of construction careers to local communities and the nation.

With a team of 15 full-time craft development professionals on staff, the company provides its craft workforce opportunities for classroom and on-the-job training year-round. The craft training department offers approximately 50 courses that are a combination of safety, skills-based and field leadership development to develop a skilled workforce prepared for safe, productive and quality construction. In addition, McCarthy’s Registered Apprenticeship Program provides entry-level craft employees the opportunity to progress through a combination of on-the-job learning and classroom instruction.

In spring 2023 McCarthy opened its Innovation and Craft Workforce Center in Chandler, Arizona, a multifunctional facility dedicated to craft and trade partner training, and to support the development of the region’s future construction trade workforce.
