As the race to recruit, train and retain the next generation of flooring installers gains momentum, another organization has stepped up to answer the call in their area. On October 10, 2022, the Kentuckiana Floor Covering Education Committee (KFCEC) kicked off its first official floor covering education course.
The KFCEC is a Louisville, Kentucky non-profit organization that was founded in January by local contractors, retailers and distributors to provide floor covering training and a career path to the flooring industry. It has partnered with the local Goodwill program who vets each student before they enter the flooring program.
