The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) is partnering with Procore Technologies, a construction management software company, on education and training.
Through this partnership, Procore will work with NCCER to develop new technology-focused curriculum and educational resources, with the goal of strengthening the connection between technology and the trades.
“We are proud to partner with a leading construction software company like Procore,” said NCCER President and CEO Boyd Worsham. “Their experience and expertise with innovative technology will be a valuable asset as we continue to push construction education into a new age.”
Procore is a founding member of CareerStarter, a new tool powered by NCCER’s Build Your Future (BYF) initiative that provides career-seeking individuals direct connections with local training programs and entry-level jobs. The CareerStarter service will be free of charge to individuals, schools, training programs and employers.
"Procore cares about workforce development because we are built solely for the construction industry." said Sasha Reed, director of industry advancement at Procore. "We see the challenges facing our customers due to the labor shortage. This is why we’re investing in enhancing content while increasing awareness of construction career paths. We believe partnering with NCCER will allow us to maximize our reach in attracting young talent into the trades. To date, we are the proud providers of product, training and certifications to more than 30,000 students in 10 countries.”
