#BECOMEAFRAMER is a campaign that promotes career opportunities
in the trades
TORONTO, Aug. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - To champion framing
as a viable career option, Norbord Inc. (TSX and NYSE: OSB) is
launching the nationwide #BECOMEAFRAMER campaign to get more
framers onto job sites. The campaign enables young Americans to
learn about the opportunities the construction industry offers, the
training required and schools in their area.
The construction industry is facing dire labor shortages and an
aging workforce. This means the construction of homes, schools,
hospitals and other vital elements of our communities are being
delayed because there aren't enough qualified workers to build
them.
Carpentry framing is a rewarding career where mastering your
skill and taking pride in your work is encouraged. Norbord cares
about framers because they install our products and build the
communities around us.
By visiting www.becomeaframer.com, prospective framers
will gain access to all the information they need to start their
career in the trades. They can listen to interviews with current
students and graduates, watch videos on framing and find schools
that offer the courses they need to start their careers. The
website provides ways in which those with ambition can pursue
entrepreneurial dreams of starting their own businesses.
Norbord's #BECOMEAFRAMER campaign builds on its #THANKAFRAMER
campaign that the company launched two years ago to raise awareness
and train framers to alleviate the labor shortage.
