Gold Seal Employer program launched
The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has created the Gold Seal Employer program.
The new initiative enables companies employing Gold Seal Certified (GSC) or Professional Gold Seal Certified (PGSC) construction management professionals to promote professional development, industry awareness and continued education through the Gold Seal Employer sponsorship program.
Gold Seal Certification is described as a comprehensive certification program that demonstrates expertise, industry commitment and ensures that practitioners are ready to meet the demands of construction projects across the country.
The program was launched by the Canadian Construction Association in 1991.
Since that time, more than 8,000 construction professionals have been recognized as Gold Seal Certified.
The Gold Seal Employer sponsorship program has an annual membership fee of $1,000 which is reinvested into the Gold Seal Certification program.
Benefits include an official sponsorship certificate, a Gold Seal Employer logo, a promotional package, name inclusion on the Gold Seal website, mention in Gold Seal’s communications and a copy of the Gold Seal as an HR Strategy document.
More information about the program is available from the Gold Seal website at www.goldsealcertification.com.
