GAF, a North American roofing and waterproofing manufacturer, hosted its largest job training and hiring event in the Greater Los Angeles Area last week. GAF Roofing Academy, the company’s national, tuition-free job training program, was hosted in Santa Ana, Gardena, Orange, and Irvine in collaboration with local contractors and roofing businesses, Beacon Building Products, ABC Supply, Celoseal Roofing Inc. and Antis Roofing.
More than 60 SoCal residents attended the multiple trainings throughout the week and approximately half are being placed or will be placed in jobs as a result of participating in the program. Across the trainings, attendees learned residential/steep-slope roofing training, commercial/low-slope roofing training, or roofing sales training. Attendees were also able to participate in a job fair at the end of the week and had the chance to meet with local contractors and businesses for immediate, full-time employment opportunities.
GAF Roofing Academy is a free, national training program that combines in-classroom and hands-on training. The course is open to anyone – no previous construction experience is required. Since 2020, more than 3,400 individuals have been trained through GAF Roofing Academy and 2,000 have been placed into jobs.
