How To Host a Small-Scale Lift & Move Event
Hosting a large 300-500-person careers awareness event like Lift & Move is not realistic for many companies whether it be time, financial constraints or space availability. However, incorporating basic elements of the Lift & Move events into a field trip at your facility is achievable for any company of any size.
Kate Landry, Owner, Deep South Crane & Rigging, will discuss the benefits of the small-scale Lift & Move Field trip and share tips they’ve amassed after hosting several Field trips. She will share timelines, schedules, sample scripts, and important reminders for safety when hosting a group of students.
This is a one-hour meet-up that includes a presentation, Q&A, and roundtable discussion.
