WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

We need your membership or your mentorship. 

Roofing Contractors Association of Southern California is proud to announce a new initiative to provide support for roofing installation training with two important CTE programs. 

First, at the high school (SkillsUSA), then post secondary level, beginning with the Baldwin Park Adult and Community Education (BPACE) located in Baldwin Park, California.  Once classes begin, this pilot program can be rolled out to educational centers throughout Southern California and eventually the state. Our goals for the Skills USA program are to introduce roofing in a school district in each of the counties we serve. Our support will consist of help with curriculum, hands-on materials, tools, financial backing, and to help introduce a contractor mentor for the students.

In addition to helping students get to Skill USA’s regional, state and national competitions. We are reaching out to the educational communities, in the four counties we serve, to participate in student events and job fairs with our “Consider a Career in Roofing.” Campaign.

Inspire the Next Generation of Roofers The future of our industry starts now — with today’s students.

RCASoCal is committed to raising awareness about the opportunities in roofing by connecting with students in schools, training programs, and career fairs. But we can’t do it alone.

How you can help: 

 - Being available for the donations of tools, equipment, supplies, and money.

 - Volunteer to build an installation mock-up in a school or for the state competition.

 - Be a contractor mentor to a high school or CTE class. 

 - Offer job shadowing or internship opportunities.

 - Help with job fairs and reaching out to CTE centers and High Schools. 

 - Become a teacher in the next CTE school. 

Remember, For every five that retire from the roofing industry only two are replaced.
