According to Haines, the instructional staff is comprised of highly knowledgeable and trained professionals with years of experience and credible certifications in the plumbing, electrical, HVAC, engineering, and teaching fields. Using a hands-on approach to learning that provides students with a competitive advantage, the HGH Technical Training Center incorporates an inclusive set of instruction skill sets. 

“We are giving students the opportunity to perform the tasks and skills required to be a trained technician upon graduation — an approach that reinforces the HGH commitment to quality,” added Haines.

The facility includes a variety of hands-on working equipment found in the average home, such as furnaces, air conditioning units, hot water heaters, bathroom tubs, toilets, sinks, and more. The program adapts and grows based on the needs of the skilled labor and trade environment. It recently celebrated its first group of graduates in April 2022. The facility will be open year-round.
