Developing and maintaining a world-class HVACR training program requires much more effort and dedication than many people realize. Even when created, staffed, and started, industry changes and advances dictate that the program remain in a constant state of flux, especially if it is to continue to act as a viable pipeline to the HVACR workforce.
In just the past few years, the HVACR world has undergone a transformation from an electromechanically-based to a digitally-based industry. Significant technological changes include linking equipment with Wi-Fi technology, remote system monitoring, high-tech service tools and instrumentation, data center cooling technologies, ductless split systems, variable refrigerant flow systems, and variable refrigerant temperature control strategies.
