About this Occupation
There is no prerequisite for any class. Students do not have to take a specific number of classes to gain employment; however, the more knowledge and skills they can display, the more their chance of finding employment. HVAC/Electrician jobs are in demand due to several factors. Aging infrastructure and increasing construction means more tradespeople will be required to handle maintenance, repairs, and new units or systems. It is estimated that 40% of the current workforce are 55 or older. This will lead to increased retirements in the coming years, and new workers will be needed in addition to increased available jobs.
