The growing green economy is creating millions of jobs, but demand is outpacing the number of workers prepared to fill them. Promising new programs provide an opportunity to create a more equitable workforce.
HVAC contractors have to focus on recruiting and retaining technicians by focusing efforts on learning and then providing what the current workforce is looking for.
Lenoir Community College offers Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration - North American Technician Excellence (HVACR-NATE) certification program in English and in Spanish, providing more opportunities for Spanish speaking students.
