The NCCCO Foundation has revealed two new scholarships, for those seeking to begin a career in the exciting crane industry.

“The NCCCO Foundation is committed to helping more people start a rewarding career in the crane industry,” said 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.”

In general, applicants will be required to provide information demonstrating they have not held a certification previously, the CCO Education Services Accredited Training Provider (ATP) they want to use for training, and proof of financial need. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.

The NCCCO Foundation is a 501(c)3 charitable organization formed by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) in 2018 to promote industry safety by conducting research, educating about–and advocating for–personnel safety and certification, and facilitating access by youth, military personnel, and underserved communities to education, training and certification through scholarships and grants.

“We are hoping to approve several scholarships before the end of the year to deserving applicants,” Cantwell added.

“However, funding is limited, and all applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the NCCCO Foundation with approval granted to only the best applicants.”
