Bryttany Freeman is the new Social Media Coordinator for the Steel Erectors Association of America. As SEAA is expanding, Freeman is assisting Kathy Epperson, in everyday operations as well as managing social media accounts for the association.

She has three years of prior experience with writing blog posts and managing social media accounts through previous employer, Keller Williams Reality, located in, Winston-Salem, N.C. “Bryttany is a valuable asset to our team and we are very fortunate to have her in our office,” said Tom Underhill, Executive Director.

SEAA is expanding its relationship with technical and community colleges in order to bring NCCER accredited testing for craft professions, including the SEAA/NCCER ironworker program, to students in local communities.

The partnership allows colleges to become members of SEAA, giving them access to the SEAA/NCCER Ironworker Craft Training program, and other NCCER craft curriculum and assessments.

“As demand for skills training grows, SEAA seeks to provide communities with the resources and students with the pathways necessary to get the training, qualifications, and certifications necessary for careers in construction,” said Tim Eldridge, President of Education Services Unlimited and SEAA’s Craft Training and Assessment Administrator.

The Steel Erectors Association of America announces that three additional companies have joined the nationwide network of SEAA/NCCER Ironworker Training Units and Assessment Sites. They are ASPE-South LLC of North Carolina, Trivent Safety Consultants of Colorado, and Monterey Structural Steel Inc., of California.

In addition, Deem Structural of Texas and CSE Inc. of Virginia, which joined the network in late 2018, have completed all assessments and audits.

During the October Board of Directors meeting, held in Raleigh, N.C., Kayleen McCabe, SEAA 2019 Convention Keynote Speaker, addressed the board and made an appearance and the Meet & Greet. McCabe shared her personal journey into the world of construction. From college drop out to DIY Network fame, she is now on a mission to advocate trade careers and education.

About 50 area members and prospective members attended the Meet & Greet reception, where information about SEAA’s Craft Training and Apprenticeship program, and other initiatives were shared. Meet & Greet receptions are held quarterly in conjunction with board meetings as a way to engage new member companies.
