About the campaign
The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) launched this campaign to spotlight an industry that’s essential – yet often overlooked. Our global survey revealed critical challenges facing the lifting sector: skills shortages, limited training pathways, and a lack of awareness among the next generation.
This campaign is our response.
For too long, lifting has been a hidden career path – despite offering rewarding, hands-on roles that make a real impact on safety, progress, and global infrastructure. Through this initiative, LEEA is working to raise awareness, attract fresh talent, and support the entire industry in building a stronger, more sustainable future. It’s time to champion the people behind the lifts – and show the world why lifting matters.'
