ALACHUA, Fla. — NCCER and the Construction Users Roundtable (CURT) have released the Contractors Workforce Development Assessment (CWDA), a unique assessment tool that objectively measures the quality of a contractor’s work force development program and their commitment to it.
The process begins when contractors subscribe online to participate in the CWDA. They then answer questions on an assessment and upload documentation to support and validate their answers. A nonbiased, third-party auditor reviews the completed assessment and supporting documentation and issues an overall score on a scorecard. After reviewing their scorecards, contractors can determine if they would like to grant access to specific owners to view it. In order for owners to view contractors’ scorecards, they must be registered users on the CWDA system. In addition to the scorecard, contractors also receive a customized strengths and opportunities for improvement report that assists them with strengthening their work force development programs.
To subscribe to the CWDA, visit http://cwda.nccer.org or contact Cathy Tyler at NCCER at (386) 518-6949.
