Partnered trade and industry programs

One of the fastest-growing service occupations, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning has seen major changes over the past years as a result of the national emphasis on fuel conservation and environmental concerns.

Every private residence, business, industry and agency needs the skill of technicians trained in the installation, maintenance and repair of air conditioning, refrigeration and heating systems.

Students are trained to diagnose and repair malfunctions; size, fabricate and install air duct systems; and estimate cooling and heating loads for selection of the most efficient systems for a given building. Practical training in a well-equipped shop gives students on-the-job experience before they graduate. EPA technician certification is taught and the test is offered to all curriculum students.

Four certificate programs are offered: Introduction to HVAC - (Quickskills),  HVACR Installers, Heating Fundamentals, and Refrigeration Applications.
