Technical education is an often overlooked or disregarded option for students finishing up high school. According to a National Education Association (NEA) Research study, 51 percent of high school students do not go to college and 28 percent do not graduate from high school. What many of these students don’t realize is that they’re not alone or out of options. In total, around 70 percent of the U.S. labor force lacks a bachelor’s degree.
For those who do realize what a great option a career in the trades may be, HVAC may still fall down their list of preferred options, even though opportunities for growth and success are readily available.
