March 11, 2019\u2014<\/strong>Lift & Move USA, a career exploration and outreach event promoting crane, rigging, and transportation operations, announces dates and locations for four events in 2019. In May, the program will be hosted by companies in New York and Ontario, Canada, and in the fall two events will be held in Texas.<\/p>\n

The hands-on career events are geared for students ages 15 and up, and supports local schools providing career and technical education programs. Lift & Move USA is organized by SC&RA, SC&R Foundation, NCCCO and KHL Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will bring this authentic career exploration event to some new regions and return to areas with particularly high labor demand,\u201d said Tracy Bennett, Director of Lift & Move USA. \u201cFor the first time since the event launched, we will visit north central New York and Ontario, Canada\u2014near the southern and northern shores of Lake Ontario. \u00a0In addition, we return to Texas with one event in Houston and one in Longview,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

May 9, 2019 in Webster, NY, is hosted by Boulter Industrial Contractors<\/strong> and will feature equipment from Clark Rigging & Rental and Silk Road Specialized Transport. In addition to learning about technical skills specific to industrial contracting, Boulter Industrial Contractors will give students to experience practical interviewing skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the age of social media, many young adults lack interpersonal skills and confidence when interviewing. As part of the programming for our Lift & Move USA event, we\u2019re excited to partner with local businesses to provide mock interview exercises as an authentic learning experience.\u00a0Students will have the opportunity to speed interview with an HR or staffing professional and will leave with constructive feedback on best practices,\u201d said Brittany Bachman, Marketing Manager.<\/p>\n

May 30, 2019 in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada, is hosted by Matcom<\/strong> and will feature equipment from Anderson Haulage and Ontario-based crane rental firms.<\/p>\n

\u201cPopular shows like \u2018How It’s Made,\u2019 represent only a small part of the industrial sector. It\u2019s time to show the next generation of workers how the industrial machines they were watching were installed in factories. With the help of Lift & Move, Matcom\u00a0and\u00a0its\u00a0partners will deliver a peek inside the world of\u00a0rigging,\u00a0heavy\u00a0hauling, and cranes. Students will learn that this industry is the backbone of the industrial sector, and how these services impact their daily lives,\u201d said Matt Rix, President of Matcom.<\/p>\n

Two other events are planned for Fall 2019:<\/p>\n
