Recent events have left a lot of people looking for a new job, some of whom can help ease the labor shortage faced by HVAC contractors across the country. Perfect Technician Academy (PTA), an HVAC technician training school based in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, recently announced a push to attract displaced oil field workers to its school.
The oil industry faces massive downsizing at the price of crude collapses. Some of largest players in the shale oil business have declared bankruptcy and even traditional producers are struggling. PTA is located in Texas but draws students all over the nation, attracting them from as far away as Alaska and North Dakota.
