CHICAGO — For the first time in the history of the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo), SkillsUSA Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) will hold its HVACR competition to determine the student who will represent the United States at the 2003 World Skills Competition (WSC) in St. Gallen, Switzerland.
This year’s event, which will be held at McCormick Place in Chicago, will be conducted from Jan. 27-29, and is being sponsored by a number of manufacturers and industry organizations. The SkillsUSA event will not only determine the student who will go on to the international competition, but will give local HVAC students and AHR participants the opportunity to expand their hands-on learning and test their troubleshooting skills.
