HVAC Training _ Grants & Scholarships

For more than a decade the amount of people choosing a trade career path has declined as the number of skilled tradespeople reaching retirement age and was increasing. In the next 5-8 years these retirement numbers will spike again.This leaves a big void in the construction and service industries with many companies struggling to fill positions with qualified candidates.

Many people are not aware of various Scholarships and Grants for trade programs that are available locally and nationally. Many of these are available from equipment manufacturers and trade associations. Throughout the year when these programs become available, I share the information. The Fall 2015 Semester is fast approaching, and before you know it, registration for Winter/Spring 2016 will open for most institutions in October. Below is the information on another HVAC Scholarship opportunity. Please share the information with your operations staff, colleagues, friends and students, and for additional training resources visit my blog page where training resources are listed on the right side of the page.
