NWiR and NCCER Announce Collaboration to Promote Roofing Industry
NWiR announced an agreement with the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER) to mutually support each other’s organizations as they both seek to promote the roofing industry. NWiR will communicate information about NCCER and its offerings to the Board of Directors and also to NWiR Council Leaders from across the country, encouraging Council Leaders to work with their local accredited organization and training centers. NCCER will invite NWiR members to contribute to its Build Your Future blog providing insight and information about careers in roofing to their audience.
“We know that representation matters when talking to people about why roofing is such a great industry, and it particularly matters when trying to recruit traditionally underrepresented populations” explained Brenna Driver, Area Sales Manager, Owens Corning; and member of the NWiR Board of Directors and Chair of the Industry Recruitment Committee. “That’s why we are also embarking on a photography project called “Women on the Roof” so that we can increase our content of NWiR members working on the roof, on the jobsite, and in their field and provide these photos to NCCER and other interested organizations.”
