NRMCA’s STEPS Program Goes International

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Six years ago, NRMCA’s Board of Directors supported an industry-specific career development tool, called STEPS®  (Seminars, Training, & Education, Programs). Candidates progress through a  set of prerequisites, required courses and electives to attain a CCPf designation. There are four STEPS career tracks within which to earn a CCPf designation ─ Concrete Technology, Operations & Production, Sales & Marketing, and Sustainability.

With the importance STEPS® has played in talent management since its inception, international concrete producers are now adopting the program. NRMCA’s first international STEP partnership will take place through an agreement with Grey Matters Consultancy in the Middle East. "Just like in the U.S., the program’s depth and breadth  is set to improve concrete industry standards and provide excellent career opportunities for concrete professionals," said Rabih Fakih, managing director of Grey Matters Consultancy, from Dubai. 

"STEPS’s goal is to build industry-wide standards for consistent training, content and performance. It not only enhances business outcomes but also illustrates to employees that they have an internationally recognized personal tool that supports long-term careers in the concrete industry," said NRMCA President Robert Garbini.
