“By investing in the next generation, we’re not only addressing the skills gap but also creating opportunities for individuals to pursue meaningful, sustainable careers in essential industries,” said Roland Ligtenberg, Housecall Pro co-founder and its senior vice president of innovation.
Housecall Pro, the premier software platform serving over 45,000 home service companies, proudly partnered with SupplyHouse.com, a leading online distributor of HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical supplies, to empower aspiring HVAC technicians through the third annual Trade Academy Next-Generation HVAC Scholarship.
NCI created the scholarship program to help deserving contractors and their employees participate in what it says will be one of the best HVAC events of 2024.
The program is designed for minority-owned contracting businesses that are part of the NorCal chapter the National Association of Minority Contractors. It aims to enhance the long-term success of these businesses by providing training and resources.
The program, founded in 2018, will this year award $2,500 apiece to up to 30 students to help them pursue HVAC education and promising careers in the industry.
Awards are available to plumbing and HVACR apprentices working for PHCC members, trade school or community college students taking plumbing or HVAC classes, and college students pursuing majors directly related to plumbing or HVACR.
