The Restoration Industry has seen many changes in my 50 years of industry experience. When I started in the industry there were no written training programs, there were no classroom training programs, and there were no industry specific guidelines or drying equipment available.
In the 80’s, IICRC and RIA started programs, classes, and certifications for water damage restoration. These programs have grown and evolved over the years, but what we all have been wondering about is how to attract the interest of young people into the industry and help grow our businesses.
