BLOOMFIELD, N.J. — Universal Technical Institute-Bloomfield has opened enrollment for its new HVACR program. Classes begin in September.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of HVACR mechanics and installers is projected to grow 6% between 2022 and 2032, faster than the average for all occupations. This underscores the need for technicians who support the systems that control air quality and temperature in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, a press release from UTI said.

“As enrollment opens for our new HVACR program, we’re responding to the need for skilled technicians in the ever-evolving landscape of temperature control systems in the northeast,” said UTI-Bloomfield campus president Shawn Alexander.

The nine-month UTI program covers air handling and hydronics, AC and DC circuits and components, sheet-metal ductwork, vent system selection and installation, and mechanical and electronic controls troubleshooting.

“Given the need across the nation for skilled HVACR technicians, we have quickly expanded our training program to meet the growing demands of this important industry,” said Universal Technical Institute division president Tracy Lorenz.
