NPMA’s Investing in Building a Stronger Workforce So That You Can Continue to Grow
The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) is deeply committed to its national Workforce Development Initiative to help highlight pest control as a viable and desirable industry with many job opportunities and career paths. Through the support and actions of our members, we will build a pipeline of qualified candidates to meet business demand. Through March 31, 2021 all NPMA member companies can post current job openings at no cost on the live job board at Careers.PestControlJobs.com. Members of the NPMA Founders Club, comprised of companies that have pledged a five-year monetary donation to the Workforce Development Initiative, will have the benefit of unlimited job postings throughout their five-year commitment as well as other exclusive opportunities on both the website and job board. Contact us at workforce@pestworld.org to learn more. Check out the latest press release: Join an Industry with Promise: Professional Pest Control is Growing and Hiring. Heard From the HillAs the Biden Administration begins to take shape, NPMA is determining how to best work with the Environmental Protection Agency to advocate for the pest management industry’s objectives to protect public health, food, properties from the harmful effects of pests. Initial reports indicate the Agency, under the guidance of President Biden’s nominee for EPA Administrator, Michael Regan, will focus on topics such as climate change, clean air and other issues that are not specifically impacting the structural pest control industry. The attached document from the Biden-Harris Transition team identifies the specific rules/actions that the Biden Administration will be targeting for review. Of the 48 EPA related issues listed, only NPDES, WOTUS and chlorpyrifos are of note to the industry. These are important pesticide policy issues, however these are not primary issues for NPMA. It should be understood that the list is not exhaustive and NPMA will continue to stay focused on what impacts the new administration may have on policies directly impacting the industry, as these will surely arise.
