The Council of Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration Educators (CARE) and the Partnership for Air Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Accreditation (PAHRA) have become the newest AHR Expo Endorsing Associations. These two organizations and the HVACR Workforce Development Foundation (HVACR – WDF), which became an AHR Expo Endorsing Association earlier this year, are advocates of quality education and training.
“Attracting and training the next generation of HVACR professionals is vital to maintaining a vibrant and healthy industry,” said Clay Stevens, president of International Exposition Company, which produces and manages the AHR Expo. “We work closely with a variety of area colleges with HVAC programs, as well as career and technical schools to encourage instructors to bring their students to the show when it’s held in their region. As they are the up and coming generation that will be the technicians, designers, managers, and future leaders in the HVACR industry, there’s no better learning experience than for them to see all the companies and products first-hand.”
