NRCA issues Action Alert regarding career and technical education

As the roofing industry’s workforce shortages become more severe, career and technical education is a vital part of addressing this issue.

Congress soon will finalize funding levels for fiscal year 2022, including funding for the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act State Grants that support CTE programs operated at state and local levels. This funding is crucial for high schools, community colleges, small businesses and students who need training to close the skills gap in the current workforce.

Chronic workforce shortages are the top challenge facing roofing industry employers, and funding for Perkins state grants is critical to the roofing industry’s future workforce development needs.

NRCA urges all members to reach out to their senators to advocate for increased funding for career and technical education.
