The Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) announced its fourteenth annual Construction Industry Workforce Development (CIWD) Awards and called upon the industry to continue its progress in promoting construction workforce training and recruitment across the United States and Canada. CURT is committed to giving significant national/international recognition to companies and organizations implementing effective recruitment and training programs that develop first-class craft workers and managers.
