As businesses look for ways to grow in the ever-evolving roofing industry, it’s vital to find ways for workers to grow too.  Existing, experienced and new workers will benefit from this program, which is offered in both English and Spanish.  “We want roofing employees to have successful, long-lasting careers.  As business owners look at the benefits of certifying their workforce, they quickly realize it can dramatically and positively affect company success, culture, retention and recruitment,” shares Jared Ribble, the current Director of Qualified Trainer and ProCertification programs for NRCA.  

ProCertification is a way to measure the skills of an already experienced and proficient worker, providing them with a way to become certified in specific roof systems installations.  This certification recognizes workers expertise, instills worker pride and promotes professionalism.  “When you invest in your workers, you show them you appreciate their knowledge and skills set and want them to have successful careers with your company.  By certifying your workforce, you demonstrate your commitment to professionalism, quality and your employees’ futures while also providing your company with a significant competitive advantage,” explains Jared.  

The ProCertification program helps elevate workers’ skills and differentiates a company.  Doing business with a ProCertified worker provides customers with an additional layer of confidence and protection.  ProCertified workers have a dramatic and positive effect on a company.
