The Albany Gazette - ProScore and United Rentals Announce Workforce Development Collaboration to Advance Apprenticeship Training Nationwide

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2026 / ProScore today announced a collaborative partnership with United Rentals, United Academy to expand access to equipment operator training and nationally recognized credentials across the construction and energy sectors.

Through ProScore Powered by United Academy, ProScore partners can now access operator training opportunities directly within the ProScore platform, creating a more flexible and scalable approach to workforce development.

This partnership helps to improve consistency in training and the availability of hands-on experience for equipment operators. By integrating United Academy's training programs into the ProScore platform, partners can now offer structured, hands-on training across up to 12 types of equipment. This model creates a pathway for skill development and expanding opportunities for apprentices, journeyworkers, operators, and foremen to broaden their capabilities.

"Workforce development in our industry requires more than access, it requires consistency, credibility, and real-world readiness," said Josh Oglesby, COO of ProScore Technologies. "This partnership allows us to connect our partners to a nationally recognized training network while giving operators the opportunity to build skills that translate across jobsites."

Operators who complete training through United Academy earn portable, industry-recognized credentials that validate their ability to safely operate equipment. These credentials reduce the need for repeated, site-based evaluations, helping minimize downtime and improve operational efficiency.

With United Rentals' extensive national footprint and training network, the partnership also expands access to training locations, enabling operators to complete evaluations closer to where they live and work.

"Providing accessible, high-quality training is essential to building a safer and more capable workforce," said Clinton Riach, Renewable Energy Business Development with United Rentals. "Through this ProScore partnership, we're making it easier for operators to gain the experience and credentials they need to succeed across a wide range of projects."

In addition to improving access, the partnership will help ProScore partners attain some of the following goals:

• A more uniformly trained workforce

• Reduced safety incidents

• Increased productivity

By aligning training, credentialing, and workforce data within a single platform, ProScore and United Academy are creating a more connected and efficient model for developing skilled equipment operators at scale.
