Crane Hot Line is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
The NCCCO Foundation has announced two new scholarship programs aimed at individuals seeking to start careers in the crane industry. One scholarship will support training for first-time CCO certification as riggers or signalpersons, while the other targets aspiring crane operators.
“The NCCCO Foundation is committed to helping more people start a rewarding career in the crane industry.” stated T.J. Cantwell, executive director of NCCCO Foundation. “There are many great careers available in the crane industry but in some cases, it can be difficult to find the money necessary to get the training and certification needed to be successful. This is why the NCCCO Foundation is launching these new scholarships along with our MyCraneCareer.org outreach and communications campaign that started in September.”
Applications, which are being accepted on a rolling basis, require proof of financial need and information about the chosen accredited training provider.
The foundation aims to approve several scholarships before the end of the year, but warns that funding is limited and applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
