Building the Next Generation of Installers

How Training, Certification and Employer Partnerships Can Strengthen the Workforce

The skilled labor shortage isn't on the horizon—it's here.

As experienced installers retire and demand for exterior remodeling continues to grow, companies across the polymeric exterior building products industry are competing for a shrinking pool of qualified talent. Companies that invest in workforce development today will be better positioned to grow their businesses, maintain installation quality and meet customer demand tomorrow.

Join PEPA President & CEO Kate Offringa and Branka Minic, Founder & CEO of Building Talent Foundation, for a practical discussion on what's driving today's workforce challenges and what employers can do now to build a stronger, more sustainable installer pipeline.

You'll hear how training, certification, career awareness and strategic partnerships are helping attract new talent to the trades, while learning actionable strategies your organization can implement to recruit, develop and retain the skilled workforce you need.

What You'll Learn:

• Workforce trends impacting the exterior building products industry—and what they mean for your business
• How training and certification programs can improve installation quality, employee confidence and retention
• Ways to build stronger connections with emerging talent through industry partnerships and career pathways
