HOUSTON—McCarthy Building Companies' Houston Division is one of the first companies to achieve recognized level craft training endorsement by C3. This program has a rigorous standard that measures a company's craft training program against a training framework. The endorsement, offering three levels of recognition, recognized, leader and champion, is achieved through the development, implementation and evaluation of craft training connected to career paths for craft professionals.
“McCarthy earned this recognition by demonstrating its commitment to the craft workforce through the institution of a specialized craft training, which leads to a more defined career path and a sustainable workforce,” said Mike Holland, C3 board chairman and chief operating officer of MAREK.
Launched this year, C3's program provides recognition to construction firms that have documented and implemented training programs that demonstrate corporate leadership commitment to the development of craft workers, implement craft training programs for all craft workers and establish a more sustainable workforce through craft training connected to career paths.
