CFI Joins Legacy Flooring to Help Veterans Launch Installer Careers

Lenexa, KS, September 19, 2016—The International Certified Floorcovering Installers Association (CFI) has announced a partnership with Legacy Flooring of Raleigh, North Carolina to help transitioning veterans find a career in the floorcovering installation trade.

Under their non-profit entity, Leave A Legacy Foundation, Legacy Flooring’s mission is to assist the CFI with the “Next Generation” initiative to recruit new installers for the floorcovering installation industry. Their personnel will work with the various military transition offices in an attempt to attract veterans and their families to the training classes.

According to CFI sources, the organization is in the process of submitting an application to the state of Texas to become a Veteran’s Administration authorized trade school. This would allow post-9/11 veterans and their families to have their tuitions subsidized by the G.I. Bill and pre-9/11 veterans by the Montgomery Bill and others.

Legacy Flooring will also partner with other installation service providers, like Installation Services of Troy, Michigan to share ideas and recruit other like-minded service providers to establish schools across the country.
