Full-Time

Simply put:
You take what you’ve learned in the HVAC industry and teach someone else how to do it safely, correctly, and professionally. Our students are preparing to enter the workforce. Some may come into your classroom with HVAC experience. Others may be picking up HVAC tools for the first time. Your job is to help them progress from “I want to work in HVAC.”

to “I have the skills, training, certifications, and confidence to begin my HVAC career.” You’ll provide students with industry‑recognized Career Technical Training designed to prepare them for full‑time employment, higher education, apprenticeships, or advanced training opportunities.

This isn’t a position where you’ll spend the entire day standing in front of a whiteboard. HVAC is hands‑on—and the training should be too. You’ll combine classroom instruction with demonstrations, practical exercises, troubleshooting scenarios, and hands‑on skills training so students understand not only what they’re doing, but why they’re doing it.

Depending on the approved curriculum and program requirements, instruction may cover areas such as:

• Heating systems
• Air‑conditioning systems
• Ventilation and airflow
• Basic HVAC electrical concepts
• HVAC tools and equipment
• Measurements and system components
• Refrigeration fundamentals
• Troubleshooting and diagnostics
• Preventative maintenance
• Workplace and job‑site safety
• Proper procedures and documentation
• Refrigerant handling and environmental requirements

Students should leave your program understanding that being an HVAC professional isn’t simply about knowing how to fix equipment. It’s about diagnosing problems, working safely, communicating professionally, and doing quality work.

A major part of Career Technical Training is helping students leave Job Corps with skills employers recognize. You’ll help prepare students for applicable industry credentials, including:

• EPA Section 608 Certification – Help students understand proper refrigerant handling practices and prepare for certification requirements.
• NCCER – Provide instruction aligned with applicable industry‑recognized training and credentialing requirements. You’ll monitor student progress and provide additional instruction or coaching when students need extra support. The goal isn’t simply to help students…
