NRCA's award-winning Training for Roof Application Careers, that includes both English and Spanish content, is training your company can use to provide new and inexperienced field workers with information and skills to help them become quality roof system installers who thrive in their careers.

There currently are four packages available for purchase:

• Thermoplastic roof membrane installation package includes more than 30 hours of online content plus activities that provide hands-on experience.

• Asphalt shingle installation package includes more than 20 hours of online content plus activities that provide hands-on experience.

• Low-slope onboarding package includes more than 8 hours of online content.

• Steep-slope onboarding package includes more than 6 hours of online content.

TRAC ultimately will include each roof system. A TRAC package for foremen is coming in 2020!

TRAC is designed to provide new and inexperienced employees with "conversational competence." This means they understand:

• Terminology that helps them engage with foremen and crew members in helpful, rather than burdensome, ways

• Concepts familiar to the roofing trade

• Duties and responsibilities they can expect to engage in as crew members

• Hands-on skills (included in certain packages) they will develop in their journeys to becoming competent

• Your company will take the time to train them rather than using a "sink or swim" method of onboarding
