While in the lab, students learn to test, systematically troubleshoot, repair and maintain electrical and mechanical HVACR systems and components.

A lot of hands-on experiences using the latest technologies will help you build a resume that will capture the attention of future employers and you will also be ready to enter a growing field and to advance as far as your skills will take you.

Prepare for a Great Career!

Because of the continuing demand for technicians, an HVACR graduate can easily find employment in any state or country.
Career opportunities for technicians are multiplying with technologi-cal advances in the use of microcomputers for data processing and system control. The demand also is spurred by expansion in the production, storage and marketing of food and other perishables.

The growing emphasis on energy cost and utilization also is creating a need for technicians to renovate, convert and service existing heating and air conditioning systems. Graduates may work as service technicians, manufacturers, laboratory technicians, sales representatives or designers.

Employment Outlook!

Employment of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is expected to increase faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2010. As the population and economy grow, so does the demand for new residential, commercial, and industrial climate-control systems. Technicians who specialize in installation work may experience periods of unemployment when the level of new construction activity declines, but maintenance and repair work usually remains relatively stable. People and businesses depend on their climate control systems and must keep them in good working order, regardless of economic conditions.
