Carrier Global Launches Initiative to Revolutionize U.S. HVAC Workforce
USA: Carrier Global Corporation has announced the Carrier TechVantage Initiative, aiming to hire 1,000 new service technicians and provide advanced training to over 100,000 HVAC technicians in the U.S. within five years. This transformative effort responds to growing demand for technical expertise in the commercial HVAC sector, driven by rapid growth in data centres, industrial facilities, and large-scale infrastructure projects. In 2024 alone, Carrier delivered nearly 132,000 hours of training to 20,000 technicians, utilising in-person, virtual, and online platforms. This includes training at state-of-the-art facilities such as Carrier University in Charlotte, N.C., a $4 million facility that has delivered 22,000 hours of education since its 2024 opening, and the $2 million Indianapolis Training Centre, which has delivered over 15,000 hours of residential HVAC training since 2023.
