In a recent survey of roofing contractors, 77% anticipate sales to grow over the next three years.* One of the biggest concerns in achieving that growth? A lack of qualified workers.
Across the country, there is a growing shift to skills-based education and training to fill high demand jobs. In fact, only around 18% of current jobs requirea four-year degree or more.**
In other words, talented candidates don’t have to have a four-year degree to get a good-paying job with opportunities for advancement. They need to know a roofing career can provide exactly that, and now they have unprecedented access to fast-track training and job openings.
NEXT–LEVEL CONNECTIONS
FOR NEXT–LEVEL ROOFERS
Your First Step™ helps recruit from community colleges, career technical education (CTEs), as well as military veterans looking to connect their skills and discipline with stable, wellpaying jobs in the roofing industry.

Install oversight for entry-level jobsite management roles
Sales to help generate more revenue
Office management to support administrative and operational needs
In partnership with Futures, Your First Step™ features a proprietary technology that matches roofing contractors with job seekers, efficiently connecting you with candidates who are both trained in roofing-specific skills and interested in your company.
