Graduate Mentorship & Roofing Community
Your Training Doesn't Have to End at Graduation
Completing your initial training is only the beginning of developing as a roofing professional.
There will always be new situations, difficult projects, unfamiliar roofing systems, business questions, and challenges that arise once you're working in the field.
That's why the National Roof Institute of America wants to remain a resource for its graduates.

Continued Professional Mentorship
Graduates may have access to virtual consultation and mentoring with the National Roof Institute of America when they need additional guidance after completing their training.
Whether you're facing an unfamiliar roofing situation, have questions about a project, or want guidance based on decades of industry experience, professional consultation can help you think through the situation.
Post-graduation consultations may be available for an additional fee.

Sometimes you simply know it's time for something different.
Whether you've spent years in another trade, worked in an office, or are simply looking for a profession where you can build tangible skills, the roofing industry offers many different career paths.
You could pursue opportunities in installation, repair, estimating, sales, project management, commercial roofing, residential roofing, or—subject to applicable licensing and business requirements—entrepreneurship.
Join a Community of Roofing Professionals
One of Nelson Alvarado Sr.'s goals is to build more than a training program. He wants to develop a community of roofing professionals who can continue learning from one another.
Graduates of the National Roof Institute of America can become part of a professional network built around knowledge, craftsmanship, and camaraderie.
As the community grows, graduates may have opportunities to share industry knowledge, discuss experiences, develop professional relationships, and potentially collaborate when appropriate.
Large roofing projects sometimes require additional people, expertise, or resources. Having relationships with other trained professionals can create valuable opportunities throughout your career.
Learn. Graduate. Keep Growing.
Our goal isn't simply to teach you for five weeks and send you on your way.
We want to provide the foundation for a career—and create a community where roofing professionals can continue learning long after their initial training is complete.
