FCICA, the Flooring Contractors Association, in cooperation with Go Carrera, FCICA Associate Member, announces the Forward Progress Certified Installation Manager Program (CIM) Scholarship was awarded to Jess Wilson with Masters Petersons Flooring & Design, Winsor, Colorado. 

Jess has over 23 years of installation experience, primarily in ceramic/porcelain installations, having mastered tile floor, wall and ceiling installations; he has also installed LVT and carpet. Recently he became a field supervisor, moving from installation to the supervision of multiple jobs. Jess expressed that the CIM Program will "hopefully (make him) a better field supervisor and possibly an installation manager - to set our installation crews up for successful and profitable jobs". Upon learning he was the scholarship recipient, he said he was excited to get started.

Go Carrera initiated the the Forward Progress Scholarship in 2022. Jess Wilson is the second flooring professional to receive the scholarship. In January 2023, Carissa Parr, L & R Floors, was named the first scholarship recipient. The scholarship covers the cost of the full Certified Installation Manager (CIM) Program including application, content and assessment fees, a value of $1,225.
