National Center for Construction Education & Research
Subject matter experts (SMEs) are a vital part of NCCER’s workforce development system. Top-notch teams are recruited for each craft to assist in curriculum development, assessment item writing and review, as well as the development of performance profiles and performance verifications.
We strive for committees to balance industry and education by recruiting construction and maintenance professionals with at least journey-level experience, and instructors from around the country. But there’s more to involvement than outstanding knowledge and familiarity with NCCER. Here’s what we’re looking for in our SMEs:
Attendance: Consistently attend our meetings. When life happens, they give the project team a heads up.
Participation: Contribute and offer feedback. If something is wrong, they offer an innovative solution.
Deadlines: Know how key making a deadline is. They do everything they can to get their work in on time.
Communication: Respond timely and keep us updated on project-relevant items.
