The Rising Stars Program empowers the next generation of underrepresented youth aged 16-24 by providing opportunities for sustainable careers in construction, including solar panel installation and roofing.

The National Center for Construction Education and Research received a DEWALT Grow the Trades Grant for its efforts to provide career and technical education, addressing the skilled labor gap.

Roofing Alliance leadership is helping address workforce shortages by funding a first-of-its-kind Roofing Industry Center and supporting the SkillsUSA program.

Students pursuing a post-secondary education in college or vocational programs in roofing or a similar field are encouraged to apply for the annual scholarship program.

The solar-ready program is a response to increased homeowner interest in energy-generating roof assemblies and provides contractors with a strategy to differentiate and help grow their business.

This year's scholarship winner aims to become the CEO of a large construction company with a focus on sustainability practices.

The new OCU experience enhances owner capabilities, provides new educational material, and encourages ongoing learning through modular paths to help support their training investment.

McCormack Partners joins the Roofing Alliance to help its mission of improving four key areas in the industry: education and training, technology, sustainability, and philanthropy.

The Governors for the Scholarship Grant Committee awarded four scholarship grants to college-bound students in June 2023. Congratulations to Madison Hipshire of Riverview, Haley Owens of Melvin, Neve Owens of Melvin and Itzel Ramirez of Detroit!
