AI-powered equipment and automated systems are no longer just pilot programs—they are on your jobsite right now. Unfortunately, standard contracts, insurance policies and OSHA standards haven't kept pace. We will walk you through the potential liability exposures created by autonomous haulers, drones, robotics and AI-assisted processes, and show you how smarter contracts, better vendor terms and a sound insurance strategy can protect your company.

Webinar: Developing Effective Foremen–Lessons from the Field 8/19/2026 11:00 AM - 8/19/2026 12:00 Noon

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 15:48:34 GMT

Promoting your best craft professional doesn't automatically prepare them to become an effective foreman. As contractors look for better ways to prepare new foremen for success, structured leadership development is becoming a growing priority. Yet more than half of construction foremen report lacking training in key areas such as communication and quality control, highlighting a persistent gap in foreman preparedness.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

* Why technical expertise alone isn't enough to prepare effective foremen
* How contractors are preparing new and existing foremen for success through structured training
* How foreman development programs are improving productivity, quality and retention
* Practical lessons contractors can apply within their own organizations

Join VP of Innovation & Advancement Jennifer Wilkerson, Master Trainer Mike Farrar, and Research Assistant Sam O'Brien for a discussion on the challenges of developing effective foremen and what contractors are doing to address them. The conversation will examine the challenges contractors face, findings from recent NCCER research, and lessons from contractors implementing structured foreman training, including a program in which 94% of participants reported applying new skills on the jobsite.
