The Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) announced its sixteenth 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 give significant national/international recognition to companies and organizations that implement effective recruitment and training programs that develop first class craft-workers and managers.
CURT is an association of leading corporations in the United States and Canada, dedicated to the promotion of cost effective construction methods.
