Workforce Ambassador Program

Purpose

 

The purpose of the Workforce Ambassador program is to grow industry awareness at the local and state level. Companies who commit to be a Workforce Ambassador program are dedicated to raising industry awareness through local community engagement such as field trips, classroom visits, career days and more. This program was launched in April 2023 with a goal of 150 members by 2026.

The SC&RF works to raise industry awareness at the National level and participates in the national SkillsUSA conference, the Future Farmers of American (FFA) national conference and other nation-wide alliances to help inform at these levels.

FAQ's

➊ If your company has multiple branches should your company sign up under the main HQ or does each Branch sign up?

This is your decision. If you have someone at HQ that will coordinate all efforts and report to Lift & Move your activities you may sign up only your company HQ. If you would like to let the branches take responsibilities for their outreach - they may sign up and report to the Lift & Move on branch activities.

➋ Can we still join if our company is NOT currently active in the community?

Yes! Please join and participate in webinars and take advantage of the networking available to learn from other companies who are active in their community.e
