The HVAC/R Career Day is Going Virtual on December 1 and 3, 2020!
|
Developing the Future Workforce Given the ongoing COVID-19 social distancing and safety requirements, the Air Conditioning Association of New England (ACA/NE) and its Northern New England Chapter (ACA/NNE) are going virtual with this year’s HVAC/R Career Day!
ACA/NE's goal is to increase awareness that the industry provides challenging and rewarding careers that offer excellent pay and benefits. This event is an opportunity for the industry to demonstrate a growing demand for new HVAC/R employees, and that students can enter the workforce without the debt they would incur after attending a four-year college. |
|
While we will miss having the chance to interact with students and future employees, we believe the virtual platform will reach an even greater audience as schools will not need to finance transportation or process parental permissions. We also expect to register a more diverse audience of students who have never attended an ACA/NE Career Day.

The new platform will allow vocational and private career school students, career services staff, principals, guidance counselors, and teachers to participate to learn about the full spectrum of career opportunities within the HVAC/R industry. |
