Benjamin Moore, PDCA and TEACH Construction Launch On-Demand Training Program for Painters
MONTVALE, NJ – Benjamin Moore announced its Painting Contractor Workforce Development Initiative in partnership with the Painting Contractors Association (PDCA) and Technical Education Assistance for Careers in Homebuilding (TEACH) Construction. Recognizing the need for more skilled workers in the paint industry, Benjamin Moore provided $100,000 in grant funding to PDCA and TEACH Construction to develop a multi-faceted program geared towards educating and preparing the next generation of painters as they enter the workforce. The Painting Contractor Workforce Development Initiative is comprised of a 15-segment Trade Best Practice video series for beginners, as well as an in-depth classroom program designed to offer content on various topics within the painting trade.
“Collaborating with PDCA and TEACH Construction to inspire and develop the next generation of professional painters is a natural alignment for Benjamin Moore as we remain committed to supporting the communities we serve through workforce development and educational programs focusing on trade skills, architecture, interior design and more,” said Craig Bunting, Benjamin Moore Director, Customer Segments. “Through this initiative, our goal is to provide both independent painters and contractor businesses the resources to equip professionals with the expertise and confidence to be successful.”
