Applications are open for Emerald Cities' Fall 2025 HVAC Career Preparation Academy! Now hosting our 11th cohort, we welcome all applicants -- including women, Black/Indigenous/other people of color (BIPOC), and Veterans. Our trainees never pay for training or job search support. 
 
Our 12-week Academy now offers training in both technical and "soft skills" needed to enter and succeed in residential heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC) roles, building operations, apprenticeships in commercial HVAC, and allied fields. We provide case management, connections to industry partners/employers, and funded support services for those who qualify.     

• Career Advancement Skills Training is included, covering workplace professionalism, job search, effective interviewing, customer service, and much more.
• Hands-on, skill-building exercises with every technical class in a laboratory setting.
• Classes meet August 18th to November 3rd, 2025.
