An important aspect of Chamberlin's quality initiative is Chamberlin University. Chamberlin 'U' was conceived and developed in 2006 and implemented as part of our strategy to prepare Chamberlin for the future by earnestly training and educating our own workforce. Chamberlin has graduated hundreds of craft workers and superintendents from the course and invested thousands of hours in Chamberlin University-specific training and education.Educating Chamberlin team members on safety, technical skills and soft skills empowers them to deliver quality, cost-effective projects that are completed safely and productively. Chamberlin University helps us deliver more to our clients. Below are our most recent graduates in Houston, Texas. We are proud to have these technicians as part of our team.

Our graduates come from two recent apprenticeships. The roofing course started with instilling the importance of Chamberlin’s values and using them in the job every day. In addition to the basics of roofing technology, the roofing industry, roofing assemblies and jobsite safety, the following modules were completed:
ROOF SYSTEM BASICS FLASHINGS AND ACCESSORIES Safety Low slope vs. steep slope Roof decks and insulation Building code compliance BLUEPRINT READING Energy-efficient systems Site plans Warranties and guarantees Building plans Plan checks HOT AIR WELDING Specifications Hand welding Shop plans Robotic heat welding Taper drawings Terminology Safety SHEET METAL Maintenance issues Offset miters Through-wall flashing ROOFING SYSTEMS Window flashing Single-ply End dams Torch-applied Termination requirements Modified bitumen Snip techniques QA/QC Soldering techniques
Carlise SynTec provided the single-ply roofing membrane module and materials and Firestone conducted the modified bitumen course. The torch-applied roofing system curriculum was presented by Certa Training and each graduate received a Cert Torch Certificate. Chamberlin prides itself on doing what they promise and then some, going the extra mile with a spirit of cooperation and a can-do attitude. Congrats to all!
