What is your company doing to recruit young people to the industry?

Recruiting the next generation is a big part of our company’s mission. We are working directly with local high schools to set up after-school activities to introduce tools and roofing to students who are interested. We also are working with local colleges to talk with students about opportunities in construction.

Division 7 Roofing is using television advertising to demonstrate the technology being used in the roofing industry. Showcasing technology paired with hands-on applications being used by a diverse workforce helps young people see they can fit in.

At Ace Roofing, we have a culture of rewarding and compensating individuals based on their performance. We have found there are extremely intelligent and high-performing young people from the millennial generation. When they discover they are rewarded based on the results they produce, they become engaged and find creative ways to bring value to the company. This culture builds on our reputation, and it’s rewarding for everybody involved.
