The HVAC industry offers competitive income and a valuable skill to take pride in. With high demand for skilled workers, it provides year-round employment and promotion opportunities.
Our four-year apprenticeship program, designed to meet industry needs, ensures that successful apprentices will receive:

Requirements of an Apprentice
The basic requirements to be in the apprenticeship program are:
- An individual can be unemployed to participate in the first year, only.
- The term of apprenticeship for the occupation shall be eight thousand [8,000] hours plus a minimum of five hundred seventy-six [576] hours of related instruction over four [4] years.
