“INSTALL’s mission to raise the bar of flooring installer skills is incredibly bolstered by this overwhelming show of industry support,” said John McGrath, Director of INSTALL. “Each and every one of these new members has already pledged to help keep our training curriculum on the cutting edge, and a number of them have already given their time and expertise toward that goal.”

INSTALL partners are asked to provide technical and education counsel regarding the curriculum by which INSTALL flooring professionals are taught. That curriculum, written and provided by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters’ International Training Fund, is updated regularly in order to consistently include new technologies, tools and installation methods into both apprentice and veteran skill enhancement training, so that what’s taught reflects current job site needs.

With these new partners, the number of INSTALL partners tops 70.
