LL Flooring Partners with NFCAP to Help Build the Future of Flooring - Seite 2

According to NFCAP founder Carlos Mongalo—a second-generation flooring installer himself—the industry will benefit from more consistent quality workmanship, which can be most effectively taught through apprenticeships. With a network of highly skilled contractors, he’s eager for the opportunity to reexamine the training process and build the next generation of skilled installers.

“Working with a company like LL Flooring is a huge boost for our program, and we’re excited to see the networks of potential participating contractors building quickly across the country,” said Mongalo. “In addition to working toward their certifications, these apprentices have the opportunity to learn vital entrepreneurial skills from experienced pro contractors and installers. With support from LL Flooring and the Job Corps, we’re excited to be laying the groundwork for the upcoming generation of pro installers.”
