Our Mission

INSTALLChicago is a large part of the solution to the qualified labor shortage and customer callback problems in the Chicagoland region. Currently, INSTALL Chicago is the farthest-reaching effort to build a workforce that will ensure the continued health and prosperity of the Chicago & Northeast Illinois flooring industry.

An apprentice practices installation techniques at the Elk Grove training facility

We make every effort to help our area's flooring industry retain its investment in our trainees by continuing to support them after graduation from INSTALL™ Chicago training. We offer:

  Career-long programs of skill enhancement upgrades.

  Health insurance and retirement benefits, to guard against the attrition so prevalent among aging independent installers.

Have You Ever Wondered?

When you see the term "certified" attached to a floor installation training program, have you ever wondered who that certifying body actually is, and what their credentials are to certify flooring installers?

You should.

 

How We Compare

INSTALL™ - THIS IS WHAT QUALITY LOOKS LIKE

  INSTALL™ has received and continues to garner written recognition by many industry leaders—such as Shaw Industries, Armstrong, Orcon, and Johnsonite—of the effectiveness of current INSTALL™ floorcovering training and its applicability to the concerns of manufacturers about the proper use and installation of their products.

  INSTALL’s training curriculum is reviewed on a regular basis by the Labor Departments of the United States Federal and Canadian Provincial governments, in an effort to maintain an acceptable level of national competence. Because this helps determine the nations’ ability to compete for global business opportunities, this scrutiny is rigorous.

As you can see, INSTALL™ isn’t just another “me, too” training organization. We have established and agreed on industry-wide standards for:

  Fundamental, core installer skills

  Graduated levels of skill competence and experience

  External educational accreditation of trainers and trainees

INSTALL™ is a program of substance, with tangible benefits to offer its trainees and the flooring industry as a whole. INSTALL™ Chicago is where you can find these highly trained floorcovering installers for your projects in Chicago and throughout Northeast Illinois.
