Did you know that you can train your own craft professionals using the NCCER training curriculum?
The National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) develops standardized construction and maintenance curriculum and assessments with portable credentials. Through an Accredited Training Sponsor like the Construction Education Foundation of MN (CEF of MN), ABC's non-profit education arm, you can use this curriculum to train your own employees.
NCCER's flexible delivery options mean that you can do everything from effective task training using one module at a time to a full-blown apprenticeship program using NCCER's prescribed levels of education that meet US and MN Department of Labor requirements.
NCCER offer multiple delivery options including an online Learning Management System for the more popular trades, e-textbooks, hands-on skills evaluations and module knowledge exams.
Contact Tom Kennedy, Director of Education and Workforce for ABC of MN/ND to learn more about how you can put NCCER's curriculum to work for you.
