Raise the Roof members regularly visit schools and participate in careers events to encourage young people to explore career opportunities in the roofing industry.

Denise Cherry and Ginny Brown, Regional Sales Manager with Restec Waterproof Systems undertook the STEM Ambassador Course supported by CITB in January. They enjoyed learning more about STEM promotions, activities and engagement and are committed to putting these into practice through Raise the Roof UK.

During National Apprenticeship Week, Raise the Roof’s Head of Training Denise Cherry visited Bradford Academy to promote roofing to 60 young people. Students were able to practice tiling, flat roofing and slate cutting during some fun hands-on activities.
