Building, facilities, and HVAC techs, it's time to upskill and future-proof your career
A new cohort of SLCC's Building Automation Systems 30-week certificate program starts August 20, 2024 and for many it may be deeply discounted thanks to a grant from the State or even free for those that qualify for scholarships from Johnson Controls (JCI).
Building Automation Systems increases energy efficiency, saves money, improves comfort and productivity, boosts indoor air quality and safety. Since buildings are responsible for almost 40% of the nation's annual carbon dioxide emissions, doing what we can to increase their efficiency helps all of us breathe easier. And that starts with upskilling folks like your facilities maintenance, building, and HVAC techs.
People new to the field… recent high school grads, those recently separated from the military, career changers, and the like… will be eligible for 100% free tuition, thanks to the JCI grant.
Techs with experience in Building Automation, HVAC, boiler operations, and the like will be eligible for STIT funding from the State, which reduces tuition by 50%!
Every student who receives funding from JCI, is assigned a mentor from Johnson Controls to help smooth their transition into Building Automation Systems.
In addition, everyone who gets the JCI funding will be slotted into an internship at JCI or another prominent local employer. As a part of this capstone project everyone else will take part in an externship or a research project at their own company. Please let me know if the State would be interested in hosting one or more interns.
Funding from Johnson Controls also made possible a new Fire and Alarms course, as well as a half-dozen Desktop Training Units that will allow students to control building systems using programmable controls and instantly see if their code worked.
