PuroClean, one of the country’s leading property restoration and remediation franchises, recently launched its newest venture, “Partnership for a Resilient America.” In collaboration with Resilience Force and Signal Restoration, PuroClean’s sister company, this groundbreaking initiative aims to train 1,000 resilience workers to prepare for this and future hurricane seasons. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su launched the partnership at a meeting hosted at PuroClean's Home Office in Tamarac, FL. 

Program participants will train at PuroClean’s state-of-the-art IICRC-approved training facility in Tamarac, FL, where the announcement was made. Upon completion of the program, participants will receive "climate resilience technician" certifications, and Resilience Force will also work to help the graduates find employment.

"Our commitment to building a resilient workforce is crucial for the future of disaster recovery," said Mark W. Davis, CEO and Chairman of PuroClean. "By training these resilience workers, we are ensuring that communities will have the support and expertise needed to rebuild and recover swiftly and effectively from natural disasters."

Acting U.S. Department of Labor Secretary, Julie Su, presided over the historic partnership agreement signing on June 18. She emphasized the critical role of well-trained workers in rebuilding communities impacted by disasters and highlighted the Department of Labor’s commitment to supporting this essential work. 

“As our country deals with more and more extreme weather caused by climate change, we’ll rely even more on workers who are all well-trained to rebuild communities impacted by disaster. And the essential jobs they do must be good jobs. The Department of Labor is putting our resources, our expertise, and our vision into this work,” Su said.
