Specialized HVAC & Refrigeration tech training at J-Tech

When it comes to jobs that are always going to be in demand, it’s safe to say that HVAC technicians and the HVAC industry are—in some ways—recession-proof. After all, people everywhere rely on skilled HVAC-R techs to keep indoor climates comfortable and the perishables we rely on. Factor in that on average, there are 38,500 openings for HVAC technicians every year, and the words “job security” come to mind!

Plus, the HVAC-R (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration) industry also plays an important role in critical areas like healthcare and the transport of food, medicine, and other essential good. If you like the idea of a hands-on career working with people and businesses from all walks of life, you might be a great fit for an HVAC-R career and the J-Tech HVAC-R program.
