Finding employees is tough but what if there was someone that could provide them? In this episode, we will be joined by Erin Albrecht and Van Church as we explore an intriguing opportunity for flooring businesses to overcome the challenges of finding and onboarding new employees. Erin is a passionate advocate for a federal government funding program (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act - WIOA) that allows businesses to onboard and train employees at their expense for 90 days, while also providing support for purchasing tool packages. Van Church has been introduced to this program by Erin and will share his insights on its benefits for his flooring business.

We will discuss the challenges of finding and hiring skilled employees in the flooring industry, including the costs associated with training, tools, and wages. Erin will share her experiences and knowledge of the federal government funding program that can alleviate these challenges and provide support to businesses in onboarding and training new hires. We will explore the details of the program, including where to find it and how to utilize it effectively to grow your company.

We will touch on how the program can assist with purchasing tool packages for new employees, which can be a significant expense for businesses. Erin and Van will share their experiences and insights on how this program has helped them overcome the challenges of finding and training new employees in their flooring businesses.

Additionally, we will discuss other potential programs and resources that may exist to support flooring businesses in overcoming the installer shortage and growing their companies.
