Gen Z is now being called the “tool belt generation.” How did this happen? SMACNA CEO Aaron Hilger explains why young people are joining the HVAC industry.
Gen Z is looking for a stable career that doesn’t require a boatload of debt to get a foot in the door, and the HVAC industry just might be the answer.
With the dynamics of the workforce changing, now is the time to capitalize on revitalized career and technical education programs to find new technicians.
The lack of technicians in the HVACR industry has been a problem for years, but by working together, the industry hopes to find ways to recruit and retain more technicians.
The ACHR NEWS talked with SMACNA president Carol Duncan. She is also the owner of General Sheet Metal in Clackamas, Oregon and has nearly 40 years of leadership and expertise in the sheet metal industry. Duncan talked about the outlook for 2024 and how to bring more talent into the industry.
