Our Craft Development Program (CDP) is led by a committee comprised of integrated representatives of front-line field craft professionals, project superintendents, project managers and company executives. The CDP focuses on strengthening peer-to-peer accountability, standardized evaluation, celebration of learning growth milestones and creating a culture of innovation and collaboration. Specific learning objectives are developed to support advancements in skill levels, certification opportunities, and leadership enhancement.
