Shot on location at jobsites and training centers and incorporating down-to-earth interviews with apprentices and journeymen, this DVD illustrates the opportunities, challenges, and rewards associated with professional roofing.

 

Instructors and managers who want to interest smart, ambitious young people in the trade will find an excellent visual tool here.

 

Following a handful of potential new hires, the film provides overviews of the levels of training commonly required of a licensed roofer: from basic classroom sessions to in-depth instruction in blueprints, specialized materials, and exam preparation.

 

Safety, diversity, pay scales, career options, and the importance of a work ethic are all discussed at length.
