Building the Future: The Importance of Engaging the Younger Generation in the Roofing Trade

In New Zealand's roofing industry, there's a pressing need to attract and nurture the next generation of skilled tradespeople. With the average age of roofers trending towards the older demographic, the question arises: who will carry on the legacy of this essential trade when seasoned professionals retire? At STS Roofing, we recognise the urgency of this issue and are committed to inspiring and training the younger generation to become qualified roofers.

Roofing is not just a job—it's a dynamic and skilled trade that offers endless opportunities for growth, creativity, and job satisfaction. Yet, despite its many benefits, it remains underrepresented among younger demographics. That's why we're on a mission to change the narrative and showcase roofing as an awesome and rewarding career choice.

By taking on apprentices, we not only invest in the future of our industry but also give back to the community by providing valuable training and employment opportunities. Our apprentices have the unique advantage of learning firsthand from our experienced staff, gaining practical skills and knowledge that will serve them well throughout their careers.

At STS Roofing, we believe that building a strong foundation for the future starts with engaging and empowering the younger generation. Through mentorship, training, and hands-on experience, we're shaping the next generation of skilled roofers who will carry on our legacy and contribute to the growth and success of the roofing industry in New Zealand.

Join us in our mission to inspire and empower the younger generation to pursue a career in roofing. Together, we can build a brighter future for our industry and ensure that skilled trades like roofing continue to thrive for generations to come.
