While many schools have shuttered their vocational programs, a new school is starting up in Indiana that is proud to offer career and technical education in HVACR. York’s Quality Education & Training Center LLC, which was founded in 2008 by Bill Kingery and Aaron York Sr., began offering regular classes in 2010.
Kingery, the school’s president, has over 30 years of experience in postsecondary education. Over the course of his career, he has seen many schools drop their heating and air conditioning programs out of a desire to appear more collegiate. “That’s not my vision,” Kingery said. “I want to be a technical school and I’m proud to be a technical school.”
