Help FCEF Fill the Map

Flooring has been absent in technical colleges for too many years. It’s time that we make flooring programs available alongside other trades. The Floor Covering Education Foundation has developed a Basic Flooring Installation Curriculum that has recently been accredited. The program gives students a taste of all the specialties they could explore and enough basic skills that they can comfortably work alongside an experienced installer.

After piloting the program, FCEF is launching several more and is looking to roll out more programs later this year. You can help by connecting the FCEF team to your local schools.

Finding Schools That Fit

The FCEF program works best in colleges that already have similar skilled trade programs such as construction, HVAC, and carpentry (to name a few.) The school will need to have space for training modules in addition to classroom space. ■
