The Next Generation of Flooring Installer Speaks Out
At the recent Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) Flooring Futures Summit, the Goodwill Certified Flooring Installation program was highlighted as another example of flooring education and training being executed in the Georgia area.
The International Certified Flooring Installers (CFI) partnered with Goodwill Middle Georgia & the CSRA in 2020 to add flooring installation to Goodwill’s program offerings. Leah Pontani, senior vice president of career development with Goodwill worked with CFI to develop the program, according to Bernadette Fortune, director of operations, Goodwill Industries. The first round of students entered the program in November 2020.
