Training shortage: I’m from Mexico and came to the U.S. when I was 14. As leaders in this industry, we should do a better job training Hispanic people. In my area, 75% of people in the trades are Hispanic, but many of them never learned the right way to do things. I want to do something for the Hispanic community in this industry. My goal is to conduct trainings for groups of Hispanic people, in their own language.
I am a Brand Ambassador for Versatex and moving toward working with LP SmartSide in the same capacity, and would love to get them involved in this initiative.
