World's Greatest Heating and Air, a local heating and air company, has announced the annual Women of HVAC paid internship program. This initiative is designed to empower women seeking career opportunities in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry.
The inspiration behind this pioneering program comes from the personal journey of one of the founders.
Having graduated from college years ago, Crissy Collins began her career in training & development but found herself struggling to make ends meet, even with multiple jobs, including waiting tables. After more than a decade, she transitioned into the HVAC industry, where she encountered numerous young men who had chosen to forgo traditional college education in favor of learning a skilled trade.
These workers were achieving six-figure salaries at an age when she had been a struggling college graduate.
One glaring observation she made was the lack of female representation in the HVAC industry. Research revealed that less than 3% of the workforce in HVAC is women. This realization led Collins to ask, “Why should the guys make all that money?” Out of this question emerged the Women of HVAC paid internship program.
The Women of HVAC paid internship is an extraordinary opportunity for women in Duval and St. John’s counties to break into the HVAC field. This program will provide paid internships and on-the-job training to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to become successful technicians and installers in the HVAC industry.
World's Greatest Heating and Air is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment. The company believes that diversity enhances innovation, productivity and overall success. By launching the Women of HVAC paid internship, the organization is taking a significant step toward addressing gender imbalance in the HVAC industry.
The program is currently accepting applications. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply through the company's website. Successful applicants will receive hands-on training, mentorship and the opportunity to build a rewarding career in the HVAC field.
World’s Greatest Heating and Air is excited about the positive impact the Women of HVAC paid internship program will have on empowering women in the HVAC industry and narrowing the gender gap.
