By National Roofing Contractors Association.
NRCA recently piloted a new website, careersinroofing.com, which offers resources to those interested in pursuing a career in roofing. Careersinroofing.com highlights opportunities in the roofing industry and can be used by roofing companies as a recruitment tool.
The resources emphasize that opportunities for success can be found on the roof, in the shop, in the office and in manufacturing facilities, underscoring the stability and income a roofing industry career can provide.
The website also features training and education resources available for individuals who are starting a career in the roofing industry, as well as for experienced workers.
A section for parents and educators offers information about the positive aspects of working in the roofing industry, including no school debt, the high demand for roofing workers and the potential to thrive and establish a solid career.
Additional resources offer industry statistics and information regarding the industry, wages and career opportunities.
A traditional college education has historically been heralded as the method to develop a successful career in society, however, as tuition continues to skyrocket more people are considering alternatives to formal education. Vocational/technical training or an apprenticeship program are worthy alternatives that provide dependable incomes without the lumps of student debt. You can find more information on roofing apprenticeship programs on the website’s training and education page.
Especially now, as the COVID-19 pandemic left America with an unemployment crisis never before seen in its history, many people are looking to find new career paths and roofing could be their saving grace. Careers in the roofing industry aren’t hard to sell either. This is an industry that believes in giving back and supporting those who are interested in supporting it through a wealth of scholarship opportunities. These can be found in a multitude of places but most importantly on the NRCA Roofing Alliance website and the RoofersCoffeeShop.com.
Visit careersinroofing.com to learn more and be sure to spread the word about the rewarding careers that can be found in the roofing industry.
