Initial Planning Phase & FrameWork Mentor
Recruitment Launching at CONEXPO/CON-AGG
RACINE,
Wis., March 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CASE
Construction Equipment is teaming up with nonprofit Crew
Collaborative to sponsor and help build from the ground-up
an-all new career counseling and mentoring program for high
school students interested in the construction industry trades:
FrameWork.
CASE & Crew Collab to Build First-Ever
Mentoring & Counseling Bridge Between High Schoolers & the
Construction Industry
"At CASE, we are customer-led in all we do," says
Terry Dolan, vice president, CASE
Construction Equipment, North
America. "It's no secret that our industry has faced labor
shortage issues over the past several years, and we can't think of
a better way to support our customers than to help identify
enthusiastic students who will make incredible contributions to the
construction industry."
Crew Collaborative will join CASE in their CONEXPO/CON-AGG booth
(#W40800 in West Hall at Las Vegas
Convention Center) to solicit stories of how mentors have changed
the lives of those in the construction industry and what paths
industry veterans would recommend to best begin a career in the
trades. They will also gather names of those interested in
potentially serving as mentors to interested high school
students.
"A couple of months ago, FrameWork was merely an idea on a sheet
of paper," says Kristina McMillan,
Crew Collaborative Founder and Board Member. "When we brought the
initial concept to CASE leadership and asked about their potential
partnership on it, they replied 'We're all in.'"
Post CONEXPO/CON-AGG, Crew Collaborative will host an in-person
retreat with CASE employees and other industry insiders to build
out the program and begin beta testing. A full FrameWork program
launch is slated for first quarter of 2024.
"Although CASE has 180 years of experience in the earthmoving
business, we are making moves with the speed and agility of a
startup," says Dolan. "Partnering with Crew Collaborative to bring
the cutting-edge concept of FrameWork to life will have a true
impact on the construction industry here in North America and beyond for years to
come."

the construction industry can find more information and sign up for
