Summary
NCIA Vocational Training Center in Baltimore is recruiting for a free 17-week HVAC program that provides certifications and job-placement help for Maryland residents facing employment barriers.
Maryland's shortage of HVAC technicians is driving demand, and the program targets people who often cannot afford private courses that can cost more than $20,000.
Participants include people recovering from addiction, formerly incarcerated and homeless individuals, with current recruitment focused on SNAP recipients.
Case managers also help remove obstacles such as license issues, child-support complications and record expungement, while most graduates begin earning $21 to $30 an hour.
The August cohort is full, but applicants can join a waitlist or apply for the December class; NCIA has offered vocational training since 2017.
