Press Release Summary: Reminiscent of blue-collar era, students turn increasingly to
Phoenix air conditioning, refrigeration schools for stability

Press Release Body: Phoenix, United States ( ExpressPressRelease ) - Refrigeration,
heating, and cooling jobs are some of the most stable career options in the U.S.
market economy. This may seem surprising - every other day, a certain kind of
doomsday economics article appears in the business section of a local newspaper.
This article inevitably bemoans the American economy\'s conversion from a labor-based
to a service-based economy; one in which unskilled labor is cheap and necessary.

However, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and cooling) is a manual labor career field
facing a serious shortage of workers. For example, in Phoenix, air conditioning
technicians are desperately needed to install, repair, and maintain cooling
equipment.

From an economic standpoint, this labor shortage is surprising news: HVAC and air
conditioning careers offer more stability and much higher wages than most jobs out
there. Schools like the Refrigeration
School, Inc. (RSI) in Phoenix, Arizona, recruit many students who are forgoing a
4-year degree. These Phoenix air conditioning, heating, and cooling students are
interested in HVAC careers because of the challenges, stability, and earning power.

HVAC post-graduation placement: The outlook\'s good.

Schools such as Phoenix\'s RSI boast high rates of career placement after graduating
from accredited HVAC, heating, and air conditioning programs. That\'s because these
schools have connections to many major industries that require skilled HVAC
technicians for all sorts of duties. href=http://www.refrigerationschool.com/career-dev.htm>RSI HVAC career training
programs offer targeted placement assistance to help students get in touch with
companies that are recruiting. Student visibility to employers is one of the biggest
differences between securing a job and coming up empty-handed. The Refrigeration
School, Inc. makes sure that students and employers can meet.

The U.S. job market itself is another reason RSI HVAC school grads have such good
fortune in the career arena. Americans concerned about the energy crisis are
interested in environmental conservation and energy efficiency. Refrigeration,
heating, and cooling students can install, diagnose, and repair the latest,
Earth-friendly HVAC technologies. href=http://www.refrigerationschool.com/course-refrig.htm>RSI uses the "STAR"
training system to instruct students in the art of troubleshooting and
diagnosing HVAC systems and component parts. Employers recognize, and require
hands-on competency from their new HVAC hires.

Career opportunities knocking

The job opportunities for RSI graduates are plentiful, especially in the
Southwestern United States. Many cities in this area are developing rapidly, and
require an astonishing number of private homes and mega office complexes to keep up
with job and population growth. In Phoenix, air conditioning is a must-have in any
residence or office park. HVAC grads can work in a number of residential or
commercial settings. So, while one grad might choose to make a career out of
installing air conditioning in Phoenix office parks, another might choose to focus
on HVAC maintenance work in private suburban homes.

Air conditioning specialists -- in Phoenix or elsewhere -- might get to install or
repair systems in giant law firms or big city hospitals, with opportunities to work
on many different projects. Refrigeration grads from RSI can find diverse
opportunities, -- such as working on the hundreds of A/C units in the new Arizona
Cardinals stadium, or servicing soda machines at newspaper press rooms and bustling
marketing firms. Or, cooling and HVAC grads can pay homage to fun and simple times,
servicing freezers and equipment at grocery and corner stores, or for old-fashioned
slushy or ice-cream stands. The possibilities for Refrigeration School, Inc. grads
seem to be endless.
