National Center for Construction Education & Research
The CWDA is a unique assessment tool that objectively measures a contractor’s commitment to workforce development. The goal of the CWDA is to make workforce development a key criterion in the prequalification and final selection of contractors.
Contractors can subscribe online to participate in the CWDA. A participant answers each question on an assessment and uploads documentation to support and validate their answers. A non-biased, third-party auditor reviews the completed assessment and supporting documentation, and assigns an overall score. The contractor can then grant access to specific owners to view their CWDA score. In order for the owner to view contractors’ scores, they must be a registered user of the CWDA system.
