The Knox County Career Center HVAC program recognized four students who earned “On Track with HVAC” status. Mason Flack, Clayton Vance, Josiah Colon, and Logan Miller all completed the necessary requirements to earn “On Track with HVAC” status.
“On Track with HVAC” is a program generated by Brad Schmidt, HVAC instructor at KCCC, and the KCCC HVAC Advisory Committee. In order to earn “On Track with HVAC” status, students must complete all credentials that are provided in the HVAC program, pass a drug test, miss a maximum of eight days or less of school in their junior year, and be employed through a local company through KCCC’s Work-Based Learning program.
Students who earn “On Track with HVAC” receive a tool bag full of hand tools and an electric meter to kick-start their career in the HVAC field. This opportunity is made possible by the HVAC Advisory Committee, which is made up of local industry partners who support KCCC’s HVAC program and industry.
“It is a great privilege to reward a student that works hard to succeed, and is determined to take on the next steps. This is the first group of many that will be part of “On Track with HVAC.” Congratulations, we are proud of you!” said Schmidt.
KCCC & the HVAC program would like to thank the businesses that sponsor “On Track with HVAC” — Lapp Heating & Cooling, IBEW 688, Universal Enterprise Inc., Coffing Electric, Advantage Air, and Mac Heating & Cooling.
