“I knew I wanted to work with my hands, and also knew I didn’t want
to do the same thing in an office every day. With Ranken’s HVAC program,
I’m learning the skills that will give me the career flexibility that
I want. I can be out in the field working on installation and repairs, or working
in sales and support. I can go into management as well. I have a hands-on career
and I’ve kept my options open, and that’s important to me.”
