WHAT OUR PARTNERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US

  • John Russo
    “Our partnership with the Alliance has opened up many new opportunities allowing us to qualify for many projects we were unable to work on previously. The resin flooring industry has always been classified as a specialty trade. It was very difficult (if not impossible) to join and meet all the criteria for the available apprentice programs offered by New York State. Your unique program has allowed us to meet all the required criteria thus opening up various opportunities for projects. We look forward to working with the Alliance for many years to come.”

We are pleased to be able to offer training opportunities for the industry’s future workforce through the Alliance while enhancing our ability to contract with public agencies. The apprentices have proven to be responsible, eager to learn, and a productive part of our labor force. Javen looks forward to a long and successful relationship with the Alliance.”
