Those of us who have been involved the HVACR industry
sometimes wonder where the bright, energetic, new techs are going to come from.
The need for more trained technicians is critical to the industry’s continued
success. Recently, Hilmor showed us that the technicians can be found if we
offer the right incentives and look hard enough. Hilmor, a brand new HVACR tool
company offered three national scholarships in their first year of business and
received over 500 applicants nationwide. Clearly there is some untapped talent
out there. They chose three winners from among the 500+ entries: David Hall, Francisco
Iniquez, and Kenneth Chavez. You can view their stories online at Hilmor’s web page HERE
Watching these three young men describe why they wanted to
study air conditioning it hit me: they are out there – we just have to find
them. Their stories are similar to thousands of other young people who want to
improve their life and are willing to work hard in order to do it. We need to
show them that our trade offers that opportunity. I am proud to say that David
studies at my school, and he has a bright future ahead of him. I know him
personally, and I know he is exactly what this industry needs. I am sure
Francisco and Kenny will do the industry proud as well. Take a look at the
videos and think about the thousands of other people who could tell similar
stories – then go out and find them. They
are out there.
