    Trades Institute at Emerge Center Begins Classes

    The Trades Institute at Emerge Center Begins Classes

    The Trades InstituteTM began its inaugural HVAC class at the end of September with Kevin Moore at the helm. Since then, The Trades Institute has grown in staff and students.

    Growing Team

    Last month we welcomed Don Corbet to our crew as our Business Technology Program Director. With plans to offer Business Technology courses in addition to our HVAC and Plumbing options in the new year, we are growing with excitement.

    Student Enrollment

    Engaging the Emerge residents with the opportunities we have to learn and grow at our bi-weekly informational open houses has yielded 4 students enrolled in classes thus far. With the growing interest in the program, we launched a second HVAC class this month!
