HVACR CAREER CONNECTIONS PROGRAM

Bringing the HVACR world into the classroom

The HVACR Career Connections Program is aimed at improving the understanding of the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry, illustrating the role it plays in the quality of life and indoor environment and highlighting the variety of career options available.

Educating tomorrow's workforce today

HVACR is an essential industry that plays a vital role in our society. Unfortunately this is not general knowledge among students, parents and educators who must sort through the babble of voices competing for their attention.  HVACR Career Connections is designed to provide information to students making career choices, as well as parents, educators and guidance councillors who all play a large part in the decision making. The goal is to introduce more career seekers to the possibilities in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration industry.

Putting a face to a little known industry

Careers in this industry tend to be a best kept secret.  Although, it is hard to imagine why!  HVACR is part of everything and is everywhere. It has an impact on virtually everything we do at home, at school, in play and in business.  And because HVACR is all around us, the industry has a wide variety of careers to match a person’s ambitions and amazing flexibility to change directions along the way.

Explore the elements of the HVACR Career Connection Program and you will discover that HVACR isn’t what you think.  It’s a whole lot more!
