BTI Adds Two New Training Programs to its Skilled Trades Catalog Including Electrical and Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning & Basic Refrigeration听

New Programs Start September 12 and Feature Industry-Recognized NCCER Curricula

(WYOMISSING, PA) September 15, 2022听 鈥� A recent national of high school students shows that 22% are more likely to attend a career and technical college because of the pandemic, up 10 points from May 2020. The survey also found that more than half of those students believe a skills-based education is more applicable in the current environment, partly due to lower institutional costs and a shorter timeline to enter the workforce. Recognizing this trend in education, BTI has launched two new skilled trade programs including Electrical and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning, & Basic Refrigeration (HVAC/BR). 暗网吃瓜 training programs are created to help potential students learn the skills needed to help advance their careers.
