Can Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) solve the underpaid workforce challenge?

The well-acknowledged flooring installers crisis The flooring installation crisis is dominant, as reiterated by the Floor Covering Leadership Council (FCLC). An organization, now deceased, that vowed to solve the education and training problems for installers. Accompanied by the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA), CEO Scott Humphrey is striving to solve the prevalent issue. But is it actually generating the required outcomes? Has the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) or the WFCA been able to eliminate the shortages that the installation industry continues to encounter? Evidently, there exists a dire need for a young and skilled labor workforce, new installation professionals, and adequate remunerations to compensate for their hard work. The growing issue of underpaid labor Floor covering craft is highly demanded everywhere, yet the floor covering industry is under deep waters. As essential as flooring is to any framework, the floor installers are left to tackle a colossal of projects and remain disturbingly undervalued and underpaid. How low is the pay rate really and is it because of installer value? The average hourly pay of floor installers in the current market is between $14 - $16.98 which roughly makes up to $2,200/month upon extensive hard work and overtime add-ons. This monthly income is low compared to the enormous amount of manual work floor installers are supposed to carry out for perfect flooring. The value of a craftsman is lost. Consequently, bad economies and existing underpaid individuals have left the industry for better-paying jobs. Many higher-paying industries have paid them, trained them, and created for them tools to succeed. What has the flooring industry done for installers in the last 30 years that have added value to the installer? Why is Floor Installing Workforce Underpaid? You would think the high installer age of between 45-56 years old comes with a polished set of skills, professionalism to know and be aware of market economics that makes flooring installers successful. Nope! The industry educational programs are only now evolving. Many installers still have trouble looking for answers to be great employers and the tools they do have to understand the local market costs to offer good estimates are leveraged by the lowest bidder. It’s discouraging! It’s no wonder why a construction company who hires a floor installer, only pays them an adequate salary because their competence is apparently "worn out." Simply, installer values are decreasing. While that might not be the case always, we cannot deny the fact that the existing workforce is underpaid. Stating the obvious: the low pay rates and under-tooled installers are demotivating for any aspiring seeker. Like a major turnoff, potential candidates look elsewhere to stuff their pockets with cash and abilities. Consequences of low pay rate As a result of terribly low pay rates offered to flooring installers, the installation industry is deprived of young workers. At the Certified Flooring Institute (CFI) conference, industry executives observed that on average, the current flooring installer age is 56 years old. Needless to elaborate, this pressing problem of a lacking young and skilled workforce in the industry can be attributed to poor pay and the lack of awareness of a failing profession. Does the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) Address the Issues? The only solution that the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) presents for the skilled labor shortage is to award students with scholarships, recruiting them to the flooring industry as they complete their training. This approach is ineffective as the root cause of the underpaid and under-tooled workforce is not being remedied. The number 1 profession in the flooring industry is the installer. No installers = no floors get installed.

Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) and its role in ending the floor installers shortage

In the world of floor installation, the installers have seldom been appreciated and a fair share of the job. For a floor installer, the job is paid well until he or she is working around the clock and has some customers who like their work; however, there are little to no opportunities for them after retirement. The Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) is an organization made to attract young blood into the field of floor installers. Floor covering education foundation (FCEF) is a non-profit organization that runs on donations of the wealthy and the well-wishers of the workforce in the business of floor installation. Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) The World Floor Covering Association (WFCA), a subsidiary of the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF), has a certified university with a similar name that provides scholarships and higher education facilities for the deserving candidates. The foundation is made to support the floor installers' community in their hardships. The organization takes donations from the members and each student who wins the scholarship gets $4000 tuition covered by the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) ($2000), donations from the members ($1000), and the new installer themselves pay $1000. Challenges facing the floor installers Shortage of skilled workers There are not enough young new installers in the market. It could be due to the lack of interest among young people to join the business and an overall decrease in the trade interest in construction. Young people, these days prefer other jobs to work as floor installers for the rest of their lives. Also, due to low pay rates, very few young people actually take interest in the job. Underpaid workforce The floor construction workers are highly underpaid and underappreciated for the work that they do. On average, it was estimated that they are paid $2,264 a month and $32,000 a year, which can barely cover their expenses. The floor installers are usually hired by construction companies who do not necessarily pay them enough to last even a month. Lack of floor installers As there are not many young people interested in becoming floor installers, and the ones working are getting old and retiring, there is an unbalanced decrease in the number of floor installers. According to the Blackstone Report 2019, each year 3000 to 6000 installers retire from the job while not many enroll - thus, there are many more people leaving the flooring installation business than those entering. Solutions offered by the Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) Education and better accommodation Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) offers education to the floor installers to get educated with new technology and equipment. With higher education and job security, the floor installer's job becomes more doable, and thus the shortage of floor installers can be combated against. Making more jobs available Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) is focusing on providing more job opportunities for younger people looking to get a job. With better education in the art of floor installation and job opportunities with benefits, Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) is looking to eradicate the shortage of installers in the market. Hoping to provide a better work environment and opportunities for the floor installers, Floor Covering Education Foundation (FCEF) is trying to find ways and increase the number of installers to match the demand, thus, ending the shortage.
