Our Story
At LEAD, we believe the skilled trades are the backbone of a thriving economy—from industrial and commercial construction to renewable energy and marine sectors. We are more than a staffing provider; we are a strategic partner dedicated to elevating the workforce that powers national progress.
Founded in 2010 by industry veteran Mark Curtiss, LEAD was built on a singular mission: staffing should do more than fill roles—it should transform lives and strengthen industries. Today, we stand as a national leader in skilled trades and workforce development, driven by an acute focus on safety, an unwavering commitment to integrity, and a dedication to service excellence.
LEAD’s Mission & Purpose
Our mission is to markedly enhance the lives of our craft associates through the alliances we form with safety focused, regional and national contractors. When the alliance is formed, we enrich the lives of our craft associates by aligning their skills with respected employer partners. In so doing, we create environments positioned to thrive.
