WAUKESHA, Wis. — GPS Education Partners and Gustave A. Larson Co. announced a joint partnership that will allow the company to build industry talent pools and future workforces using a unique youth apprenticeship model designed by GPSEd. The apprenticeship model will match motivated student workers with promising HVACR careers and expose them to career pathways in the HVACR industry.
“The HVACR industry is facing a growing skills gap driven by an aging workforce, the rising employability gap, and youths who are just not aware of careers in the industry,” said Andrew Larson, chairman and CEO of the Gustave A. Larson Co. “Partnering with GPS Education Partners will help accelerate HVACR careers among the young student population by providing a future workforce to help fill our talent pipeline and a pipeline for our business partners.”
