Instructor Griewahn encourages interested students to obtain degrees in the fast-paced and exciting career of HVACR. This industry is a necessity for homes and business, which ensures job security for its workers, and given the projected shortage of technicians over the next 10-20 years, students can feel comfortable in knowing that there will be positions available to them upon graduation.
