First Class Graduates from Basic Flooring Installation Program
Eight students graduated from the inaugural Basic Flooring Installation Program at Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) on March 18 in Dalton, Georgia. The program, developed in partnership with GNTC and the Floor Covering Education Foundation, is designed to prepare men and women of all ages for a lucrative career in flooring installation.
"These guys in this class—after 10 weeks we are family," said instructor CFI Master Installer Dave Garden. "These guys all have different skill levels and different paces of learning. But the beautiful thing was the guys who were learning at a faster pace were turning around and helping students who were learning at a slower pace. That's the best way to get people learning—it's been a great class."
