The Lift & Move USA program will promote careers in the crane, rigging and specialized transport industry to thousands of students and teachers at SkillsUSA’s annual conference in Louisville, Kentucky.

An estimated 7,000 students and 5,000 teachers will attend the organization’s annual National Leadership and Skills Conference in Louisville, providing an ideal opportunity for Lift & Move USA to promote the industry and its program of events. SkillsUSA is the national body that prepares school and college students for careers in trade and technical jobs.

Lift & Move USA will have a booth at the Skills Conference supported by Edwards Moving & Rigging and the IUOE union. Edwards will provide an SPMT plus operators, while IUOE will display a small Grove yard crane and a crane simulator.

Brett Melvin, executive director of Lift & Move USA, said the event presented a great opportunity for the program; “SkillsUSA’s annual convention is the nation’s largest gathering of students and teachers focusing on trade and technical jobs, so is the perfect venue for us to showcase the industry.

“By a ending, we will be able to reach a very large number of students in a short period, and, just as important, inform thousands of the na on’s teachers about job opportuni es for their students, both now and in the future.”
