Are You A Veteran Looking To Learn A New Trade?

Are you a military veteran looking to learn a new trade?  NW Mechanical has partnered with Nexstar Legacy Foundation in their Troops To Trades program, training veterans to work in heating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical industries.  

Nexstar’s “Troops to Trades” program “is dedicated to bringing military veterans into the plumbing, heating and air, and electrical service industry by providing both technical and professional training to the veterans and connecting them to businesses in the industry.  While many initiatives are working to help veterans find work, we are focused on helping veterans find jobs in local businesses right in their home communities.  The program’s goal is to help veterans, especially newly returned veterans, find work in our industry.  We believe that many veterans possess the skills and professional image needed to be successful in the home service industry.”

Qualified veterans will have the opportunity to learn hands-on from NW Mechanical’s experienced home service professionals, learning valuable technical and professional skills in HVAC and plumbing work.  Participants will gain new skills that can launch a fulling profession, advance a career, and provide economic stability.
