Response from teachers following the Lift & Move USA event, hosted by NessCampbell Crane + Rigging last month, was positive. Lift & Move USA is an industry-led program to promote careers in the crane, rigging and specialized transportation sectors. It is organized by SC&RA, the SC&R Foundation, NCCCO and KHL Group.
All those in attendance represented high school or post-secondary career and technical education programs. “The student guests were a highly qualified group. Many of them are already enrolled in welding, metals, manufacturing and carpentry programs,” said Tracy Bennett, Lift & Move USA director. Students, teachers and career transition specialists from more than a dozen schools attended the event.
Industry support for the event was exceptional. For the first time, the event included a tower crane, demonstrated by Morrow Equipment. Other hands-on activities were led by Lifting Gear Hire and Industrial Training International. NessCampbell’s live load demonstration, which included lifting an Oshkosh truck and placing it on a trailer to be hauled away, was the culmination of mini-lessons students learned at each station related to safety, engineering, rigging, crane and transport operations.
The next Lift & Move USA event will be hosted by Superior Cranes Inc. on Nov. 29.
