I had a sit-down meeting with the chairwoman of the local school board, where I pitched her our professorship program idea.
At this point in our work, I don’t handle a lot of the day-to-day operations.
I have a crew of techs, and an office of workers, who manage the business for me. After putting in 30 years, I am not complaining about that! However, with a surplus of free time I wanted to do something to benefit the community. My plan is an Heating & A/C training and professorship program, to supply troubled teens a work option that doesn’t involve going to school or flipping burgers. I was lucky, because our dad was in the Heating & A/C industry and got me a job right out of high school, however most adolescents don’t have an pick appreciate that. In an era when school loan debt is crushing our economy, more adolescents need to get into trade work, in this case the Heating & A/C industry; Demand is regularly high for this kind of skilled labor, and if teens knew that Heating & A/C training was a suitable pick to going to school, they might be interested! My plan is to hold meetings, and eventually set up some ride-alongs where students can spend a few hours with an Heating & A/C tech observing their work. I would be happy to set up scholarships for low-income youth who showed an interest in getting into the Heating & A/C field. Heating & A/C work is highly paid and regularly in demand, and it doesn’t put you under a mountain of student loan debt to achieve it.
