reaching out to their local high schools and offering to teach some basics on tile installations to high school students so that they under- stand there are career opportuni- ties in our industry and that this art can’t be taught in a couple of hours. Based on outreach efforts of our members, we are working on a curriculum that could be used to teach a four-week or one-semester course. Once we have finalized the curriculum, we will be making an announcement to our members. Earlier this year we introduced a new recruitment video (See it at https://bit.ly/2xpx9wE) that can be used by members or posted to member sites to promote careers in the tile industry. We will be follow- ing this up with additional recruit- ment material including literature that members can use when they are in front of potential candidates, as well as a recruitment video dedicated to women that set tile. As you have read, there is a lot going on. And most of my work cannot be done without the help of our great members. So, if you are able to assist with writing scripts for online courses, provid- ing videos for online courses, or know of female tile setters, please email becky@tile-assn.com or call me at 770-366-2566.
