HomeServe Partners with Lincoln Tech to Create Job Shadowing Program
Gives students the ability to add valuable field experience to their classroom curriculum
NORWALK, Conn. — HomeServe USA, a provider of home repair service plans, announced a pilot program with Lincoln Technical Institute, Union, New Jersey, that will enable students to gain real-world experience in the HVAC field by allowing them to shadow HomeServe certified technicians. The program is designed to give students from the HVACR program at Lincoln Tech the ability to add valuable field experience to their classroom curriculum, as well as provide them with a mentor in the HVAC field.
The pilot program launched on May 1 and began with Lincoln Tech students Joseph Silva and Daniel Vera, who were paired with senior technicians from the HomeServe USA Staten Island office. Michael Downes and Genti Shatku, HomeServe USA Energy Services Technicians and Lincoln Tech alumni, served as mentors to Silva and Vera. Over the course of the approximately four week program, the students shadowed the technicians during the day.
