Our apprenticeship program is a structured, hands-on training pathway designed to develop the next generation of skilled technicians. Through real-world experience, expert mentorship, and a step-by-step learning approach, apprentices gain the technical expertise and confidence needed to build a lasting career.

Through partnerships with Emmett O’Brien, AI Tech, Bristol Tech, Lincoln Tech, Porter and Chester, Platt Tech, Wright Tech, and Eli Whitney, we recruit top talent and provide a clear path to career growth. Apprentices receive bi-weekly check-ins, skills assessments, and 30-60-90-day reviews to track progress and ensure they meet key learning milestones.

A key feature of our program is the Apprentice Wheel, a structured rotation that exposes apprentices to different specialties and real-world applications within the trade. By working across various departments and job sites, apprentices gain a well-rounded foundation before specializing in their chosen field. This includes exposure to logistics, scheduling, team communication, and enhancing customer experience, giving apprentices a clear understanding of how their work fits into the bigger picture and directly supports our brand promise. Apprentices will advance from basic installations to more complex troubleshooting and service work. Training is deliberate and methodical, ensuring apprentices build confidence before moving on to the next skill.

As apprentices advance, we support them in obtaining licenses to help them take the next step in their careers:

• HVAC: B, D, S

• Gas: G

• Electrical: E

Success in our program isn’t just about technical ability—it’s about readiness for a full-time career. By the time apprentices graduate, they have the experience, knowledge, and support system to transition seamlessly into a licensed, skilled role within the industry.
