ACCA’s pledge is backed up by you , the HVACR contractor. Their pledge to train 75,000 HVACR workers in the next 5 years will only happen if individual contractors sign on with their pledge. You may only need one or two or 50 over the next 5 years; but, it is only when we set a goal and determine to achieve that goal that is it accomplished. We can no longer wake up each day hoping that our competitor’s best tech will knock on our door wanting a job. We know what that has gotten us over the last 50 years. We’re in a mess but we can get out of that mess. How?

1. We focus on recruitment. We go to the high schools and colleges and tell them that we are hiring. 2. We provide supplements or outright pay for their education. It’s nothing compared to the value a journeyman is worth to the company. 3. We structure our pricing so that we can provide a good CAREER. We talk career but frequently pay like it’s a part time job for someone we pick up at the local Home Depot. By the way, pay you what your are worth. Price for your family’s future as well.
