HVAC Trade Schools Becoming Popular Among Youth

HVAC Trade Schools Becoming Popular Among Youth Because of resistance to HVAC Virginia Beach trading schools by high school counselors, parents, and even high school students themselves, who still consider traditional college to the best route to financial success and personal growth, many HVAC industry insiders are moving their promotions for HVAC Newport News Va trading schools to a younger audience. To middle school students, they hail the benefits of the healthy wages, room for promotion, and job security that a rewarding HVAC Williamsburg Va career can provide. The younger students' mind is also more open to different possibilities, making middle school HVAC presentations particularly successful.

Highlighted Benefits of an HVAC CareerEspecially according to industry insiders, the HVAC career can offer a young mind challenging critical thinking problems. Due to the technological complexity of most , if not all, of heating, air conditioning, and ventilation systems, a career in HVAC will not be as routine or automatized as, say, working on an assembly line or doing heavy construction work would be.

Independence- HVAC technicians often work alone, sometimes driving many miles to a job site. They are trusted to arrive on time, and do the work effectively. Unless the job calls for multiple technicians or heavy construction, the job will usually be unsupervised by a contractor, and it will be up to you to work with a hard work ethic to get the job done smoothly and on time.

Advancement Opportunities- Besides an increase in salary, advancement opportunities include future HVAC small (or large) business ownership, advancement to supervisory positions, and advancement to sales and marketing jobs. While you may start out doing only minor electrical work, you could end up being the marketing executive of the entire company!

Critical Thinking Tasks Excite the Mind (No Two Jobs Are Alike) - Police officers often will say that working the "graveyard," or late shift, while more dangerous, can also be more fun because of the excitement offered by the extra challenges. In much the same way, many HVAC technicians are able to

view a broken air conditioning unit, for example, as an opportunity to test and polish their skills. Also, no two jobs are alike, so you will not feel "trapped-in" doing the same repetitive tasks over and over, as you might at a desk job.

Job Security- Nurses and doctors are in constant demand by hospitals and medical centers, because people are always getting sick. In the same vein, HVAC work is in high demand because of homeowners' need to stay comfortable in their homes. As an experienced technician will tell you, restoring air conditioning for a family on a hot, humid, day will garnish as much respect and appreciation for the technician by the family as a doctor might receive for making a family member well again! Air quality and temperature control are essential to our health and modern lifestyles.

Also, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for HVAC technicians is excellent. The occupation is expected to grow faster, through 2018, than other jobs requiring post-secondary training or a bachelor's degree.

Room for Specialization- Generally speaking, and counter to popular belief, HVAC technicians are not usually jacks-of-all-trades. Most technicians specialize in either installation of new appliances (heating, cooling, refrigeration, ventilation) or in maintenance and repair. In addition, you can specialize in an HVAC discipline (electric, heating, air conditioning) while at school. Also, over time you will find out what you're best at, and can choose that type of job over others in most circumstances. You might end up being the best expert on air conditioning Virginia Beach has to offer!

Money- According to a reputable third-party source, advocates of HVAC trade schools say, the average HVAC technician's salary is around $42,000 a year. Of course, starting salaries are often much lower, and with more experience will come more money.The following graph explores the salaries of HVAC technicians.
