Architectural Trades Collective (ATC)

Overview

We are continuing to define what the ATC will be, and it will serve five key focuses.

The overarching goal is to “make roofing relevant” so that all connected parts of the industry can see roofing as an exciting trade and a viable career path.

Five Key Focus Areas

1. Wagner Employee Training & Development
2. CTE & Vocational Partnerships
3. Industry Certification & Testing
4. Stakeholder Roofing Introduction
5. Manufacturer & Vendor Partnerships

Key Milestones & Upcoming Dates
