TROY, MI — When we last reported on The News’ project to establish a secondary HVACR program in Michigan’s Oakland County, we were still awaiting some important answers. If anything, we’ve learned that educational programs do not get started overnight. But we have also learned that the work under way by school officials is beginning to pay off. Small pieces of the big picture are starting to come together, providing a lot of hope that the goal may very well be accomplished.
According to Oakland Schools, the major responsibilities for candidates will include “providing training to secondary students and adults in the areas of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems within the construction cluster.” Also, emphasis is on quality assurance as well as construction core and foundation skills, simulation, ergonomics, and automation.
