“Emerson Climate Technologies has enjoyed a good working relationship with the Upper Valley JVS HVAC program. We’ve had the opportunity to be involved with and participate in their apprenticeship program. This has presented opportunities for Emerson Climate Technologies to hire not only well-trained HVAC technicians but well-rounded young adults.”

“My son is a hands-on person. He struggled all through high school, until he got to the JVS. He was very apprehensive about leaving his home school because of his friends. He quickly overcame that once he made new friends and felt welcomed by the staff. Our son excelled his Senior year, receiving awards in HVAC/R. He had the support he needed in his academic classes, and excelled in them as well. While we are sad this wonderful experience has ended, it is time to move on to the next chapter of life... College. Wow! We never saw that coming, but very glad it is! We're proud of him and his accomplishments while at Upper Valley JVS. He wouldn’t have done it without their help!”

“The success of our Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Program (HVACR) has come from over 35 manufactures, wholesaler, contractors and colleges we have built strong partnership with. The HVACR Program has set very high academic and career technical standards to insure students are successful once they graduate. The reward is to see our students become successful in their career choice.”
