Nccer

Our mission is to build a safe, productive and sustainable workforce of craft professionals. Our vision is to be universally recognized by industry and government as the training, assessment, certification and career development standard for construction and maintenance craft professionals. The following principles have been ingrained into NCCER since our founding in 1996, and as we work toward achieving our mission and vision, NCCER will continue to apply these values in all of our activities.

NCCER's roots extend back to the early 1990s when leading contractors came together to standardize training and provide industry-recognized credentials. Over time, NCCER has expanded to become the industry's source for training, assessments and certification. NCCER continues to evolve beyond the construction and maintenance industries both domestically and globally. Today, NCCER develops curricula for over 70 craft areas that have been used in all 50 states and in 20 countries. More than 125 construction industry association and academic leaders lay the groundwork for the creation of NCCER at the Aspen Summit.
