The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) has launched a new, free program in an effort to help workers get started in the industry, at a time when construction has a lot of hard hats it needs to fill.
CareerStarter, part of the nonprofit’s Build Your Future initiative, provides a hub for potential tradespeople to explore career options, take quizzes to find the right fit and search for nearby training opportunities.
Tool maker Stanley Black & Decker and construction software provider Procore are paying for the program, making it free to schools, employers and workers alike.
