Trane® by Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate
innovator, is growing the skilled labor workforce and supporting
America’s dedicated military service members through its Trade
Warriors program. The hands-on, 8-week training program, launched
at Fort Bragg, N.C., was created by the Trane Residential heating,
ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) business to provide service
men and women with the necessary skills and certifications to begin
a successful career in HVAC once they transition to civilian
life.

“With a projected skilled labor shortage of 122,000 technicians
in HVAC alone, this program will bolster the talent pipeline and
help dealers from across the country hire qualified workers,” said
Jason Bingham, president of Trane Technologies’ Residential HVAC
business. “Most importantly, the Trade Warriors program
provides rewarding careers to service members who have dutifully
served our country and helps them transition into life after the
military.”
The Trade Warriors program began in late 2021 in partnership
with Raleigh, North Carolina-based RightTek HVAC Training and the
Army’s Career Skills Program at Fort Bragg. The program has
successfully trained three cohorts, leading to 20 job placements so
far. Fifteen students are taking part in the fourth cohort which
began last week, and there are plans to expand the program to other
sites. All military men and women within six months of their
separation date are eligible for application. Veterans are also
eligible for participation.
Through the Trade Warrior curriculum, experienced HVAC
professionals train students on residential Trane equipment – from
heat pumps and air conditioners to furnaces, air handlers, and
ductless systems. Students also receive after-hours access to
Trane’s internal Learning Management Systems training programs and
online learning modules if they require additional support.
Before becoming Trane Certified Technicians, students must pass
the EPA (EPA608) and NATE Ready-to-Work exams which assure they
have the fundamental job knowledge and skills that accompany those
key technician certifications. Students also receive hands-on
preparation for their new careers, logging 1,000 hours toward their
North Carolina HVAC License.
At the program’s completion, graduates receive the opportunity
for job placements with Trane dealers from across the country.
Dealers are prequalified and must meet a minimum salary and benefit
level for the soldiers. The program considers the soldiers’
preferred location to match them with an opportunity that best
meets their personal and family needs.
“Once we facilitate a placement, we keep an ongoing connection
with all Trade Warrior graduates as they transition from the
military into a civilian role, which we know can be immensely
challenging both physically and emotionally,” said Crystal
Hyman, dealer/contractor experience leader for Trane. “From
scheduling 30-, 60- and 90-day follow-ups after the program
completion to connecting graduates or soon-to-be-graduates with
previous cohort participants, we can help our students receive the
assistance they need on an ongoing basis.”
