Dedication to Safety

Our members understand the importance of a strong commitment to safety culture and environmental awareness in construction, where job-sites are constantly evolving, and new hazards emerge almost daily. Although we formally recognize their efforts only once a year, we honor their daily dedication to send each employee home safe every day.

SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT AND GREAT RESULTS

I just want to say thank you all at CCN for the support and encouragement throughout the program at Emily Griffith Technical College. Construction Careers Now is a very wonderful program that had great results for me. The position I accepted starts me off at a wage over and above what I was making with my previous employer.
