Excerpts

This volume was developed by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) in response to the training needs of the construction, maintenance, and pipeline industries. It is one of many inContren Learning Series,. The program, covering training for close to 40 construction and maintenance areas, and including skills assessments, safety training, and management education, was developed over a period of years by industry and education specialists.NCCER also maintains a National Registry that provides transcripts, certificates, and wallet cards to individuals who have successfully completed modules of NCCER'sContren Learning Series,when the training program is delivered by an NCCER Accredited Training Sponsor.The NCCER is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) education foundation established in 1995 by the world's largest and most progressive construction companies and national construction associations. It was founded to address the severe workforce shortage facing the industry and to develop a standardized training process and curricula. Today, NCCER is supported by hundreds of leading construction and maintenance companies, manufacturers, and national associations, including the following partnering organizations: PARTNERING ASSOCIATIONS American Fire Sprinkler Association American Petroleum Institute American Society for Training & Development American Welding Society Associated Builders & Contractors, Inc.
