IKO becomes first roofing manufacturer to offer tuition savings through Clemson University and Roofing Alliance partnership

Loyalty program members can save 25% off standard tuition rates, making quality roofing education more accessible.

IKO is excited to announce a new joint initiative with Clemson University and the Roofing Alliance to launch a formal education program tailored specifically to the roofing industry. Through IKO University, IKO ROOFPROs across North America can benefit from over 25% off standard tuition rates.

The three courses: Roofing Fundamentals, Roofing Management and Roofing Business and Leadership are a result of a collaboration between Clemson’s Nieri Department of Construction, Development and Planning and the Roofing Alliance, the foundation of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA). Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from Clemson University and the Roofing Alliance, gaining practical knowledge, industry recognition and networking opportunities.

“When we first introduced the ROOFPRO program, our priority was to create opportunities that matter,” said Jeff Williams, vice president of marketing and branding at IKO North America. “This program will make quality roofing education more accessible — and that’s a win for both contractors and the industry as a whole.”

“Whether it’s sharpening technical or business skills, these courses can help our guys win more jobs — and we love that,” adds Jack Gottesman, director of marketing services and loyalty programs at IKO, North America. “This first-of-its kind partnership delivers on IKO's promise of Proven Performance.”

“We’re excited to support the development of roofing-specific education,” said Dr. Dhaval Gajjar, associate department chair at Clemson. “These courses will give IKO ROOFPROs a well-rounded industry understanding to support their growth.”

“This partnership supports the Roofing Alliance’s mission of elevating the industry through top-tier education,” added Alison L. LaValley, CAE, executive director of the Roofing Alliance. “The quality of content, relevance and delivery make this program truly one of a kind.”
