Contractors know how wonderful a career the HVAC industry is. The advantages are countless, including competitive salaries, a low barrier to entry (no need to pay for a costly college degree), and the potential for growth and promotions. But even with these advantages, the industry is not immune from the widening skilled trades labor gap, which makes snagging every potential recruit a must.
Sometimes, though, a person pursuing a career in HVAC might be delayed because of financial obstacles. This is where scholarships, like those offered by the Rees Scholarship Foundation, step up to the plate. The foundation is a charitable organization that works to provide scholarships to qualified students pursuing careers in HVACR and water heating, as well as serving as the educational foundation of AHRI.
