The General Manager of Brown Air Conditioning & Heating was the guest speaker for the graduating class at National Training Institute South Belt to provide advice for new HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical graduates.
Starting out in the trades with little experience is a challenge, but the basics of being a great employee are the same: show up, be humble, listen, and help the company provide excellent service. If an employer is willing to take a chance on you as a new graduate: take the opportunity!
The employee is prepared to train you, help you, and even pay to fix the inevitable mistakes that will be made.
Have faith graduates and keep searching. Bring value and ideas. You are needed.
