Shurtape Continues Training Program to Educate for Success
HICKORY, N.C. — From learning the theory behind heating and air conditioning to participating in labs that teach troubleshooting skills, you can’t beat the hands-on training and experience that comes from technical education. Having that certificate or degree provides an advantage in the HVAC workforce, so many of those aspiring to join the field put in the time to get a quality education, but the costs can be high.
So, in 2015, Shurtape Technologies LLC, a producer of pressure-sensitive tapes, set out on a mission to educate for success through its Mission: HVAC program. Through this program, three students from Athens Technical College, Athens, Georgia, embarked on a journey of learning and discovery. Over the course of 10 months, they received HVAC-themed missions, which challenged them to put their classroom learning and real-life experiences into action and then report their findings via blog posts on Shurtape.com.
