to sing your praises out loud so my listeners knew
the kind of quality and character guy you are now
pivoting over. Let my listeners know, this is a trade
school HVAC and refrigeration, and there are careers out there
in these in the trades in HVAC are careers correct.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
There is absolutely as a matter of fact, the numbers
on that reflect that we are going through what we
call a mass retirement of what we are actually referred
to in the industry as the silver tsunami. That's guys
that are the baby boomers that we're coming up through
(01:35):
these trades HVAC in particular, and they are retiring, okay,
at a very high rate right now. So in the
next two to five years, we are in need of
about over forty thousand new hires to fill these positions
over throughout the United States, of course, per year in
(01:57):
the next five years the AAC industry particularly, and.

When you graduate from the Southern Ohio Technical Institute, you
are career ready.

Yes, you are. Yeah. What we do is we have
a program, a ten week accelerated course, and basically what
we do is we give you the tools as an
individual to be rehired or be a new what we
call a new hire into the industry, so you are
ready to go in and start building your career and
(02:33):
actually expanding your education in the HVAC industry when you
leave our school.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Now, how many hours does it take to complete the course?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The course is a two hundred hour course ten weeks.
We have both evening classes and we have morning classes.
The morning classes from nine till two and then our
evening classes are five till ten. Those are four days
a week, Monday through Thursday.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And what kind of certifications do these students earn when
they're when they complete the program.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
The certifications that are earned, we have that what is
called a six OHA e PA certification, which is a
must certification. You have to have that certification or you
cannot work in the HVAC refrigeration industry. That's you get
that certification. You also get an OSHA Safety Certification, which
(03:34):
is a great hiring enhancement for the employers because you've
already had safety training. You also will receive an HVAC
Excellence Employment Ready Electrical Certification. You also will receive an
HVAC Excellence Air Conditioning certification, and you also will receive
(03:59):
an a Too Well Refrigerant certification. What are the new
refrigerants that are coming on to the market right now today,
and those are the ones that are replacing the ones
that we have now to help with the greenhouse effect
that these refrigerants are are actually bringing onto the the industry. Okay,
(04:24):
so it said a two L certification will beginning, So
five certifications wow in total?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, well ten weeks and your career ready. I mean,
this to me is just absolutely what the world needs.
And of course with the demand out there for HVAC folks,
you know, this is career. This is career stuff here.
I mean the salaries as you have on your website,
which I let my listeners know is s O T
I dash hvac dot com. You can get all the
(04:51):
information about the program. And also I wanted to focus
on the Shore grant s h O R Shore Grant.
Let my listeners know about that.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah. The short grand is a great UH is a
great tool financing tool, Okay for these young people that
are wanting to get into the industry. And for the
vets UH, the Charles Shore Foundation has partnered with our school.
And for the veteran I'll go over those first veteran UH.
(05:21):
For the veterans, UH, they can come to our school
and say, if the veteran has already exhausted his post
nine to eleven benefits and maybe went to another school
and he's uh went through that four year course or
whatever in the business course, and you know he figured
out what that really isn't what I wanted to do.
(05:42):
But now his benefits have been exhausted. Okay, we come
in with the Charles short brand and we will give
that veteran a full ride okay to our school. And
that full ride will include full tuition. It includes actually
a gas stiphen for them to come to and from school,
(06:04):
and we also provide tools for them to start into
the industry after they after they have graduated.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Wow, that's great and God bless you and for helping
out the American veterans because you know this is the
g I Bill cover this as well. Well.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
The GI Bill does cover it. That is, so many
veterans go out into the world and when they actually
when they come in and they get out of the
armed forces, unfortunately, you know, they go into something and
they spend their benefits and they do something that they
really don't want and by the time they realize that
(06:46):
their benefits have been exhausted. Okay, and uh, that's where
we step in with the Charles Shore grants and we
take care of this. But yes, to answer your question,
if you're fresh out of the service, absolutely, your your
post nine to eleven benefits will cover the school tuition.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Perfect fit for military veterans looking for a career path.
It sounds like now I'm guessing and you can fill
in the blanks for me, Mike, that HVAC companies out there,
who I guess are searching for people for these roles,
know about the Southern High Technical Institute. Are they knocking
on your door asking for graduates?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Oh? Absolutely, we get tons and tons of phone calls
every day. And real quick, I want to kind of
step back a little bit too. We also have this
program Charles Shore Grant available for high school students. Okay,
mister Shore thinks that that is a very important part, Okay,
that these high school students need to be aware of
(07:47):
that they have options. They don't always have to go
to college.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And so we offer the same benefit. If you are
a student in high school and you are ninety days
before graduation or ninety days after graduation, you were eligible
for this Charles Shore grant.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh, that's fantastic. I know there's some parents out there
that'll be steering their kids in the direction of the
Southern High Technical Institute because yeah, I mean, you can
work your entire life in the HVAC A refrigeration industry.
You can put a food on your family's table, a
career opportunity, and you don't have to go into debt
one hundred plus thousand dollars with a college education, you
(08:29):
may come out the other side that did you find
out it's worthless?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Yeah, and not to mention think about this, A lot
of these careers are a lot of these educations that's
so called educations, okay, and they're great educations in a
lot of cases. But guess what, we have the new
factor going in AI.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
We don't have to.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Worry about AI and our industry quite honestly, because you
know what, You're always are going to have to be
kept warm. You're always going to need your refriger creation
for your grocery industry, so on and so forth. So
guess what we're not going to be affected by AI,
nor is this job. It's just a great, great thing
(09:11):
to get into. And I think that and when you
mentioned about hiring and companies calling us. They call us
every day. We actually have two large job fairs every
year which involves about sixteen of the local companies around
the Greater Cincinnati area and our school presently are for
(09:32):
our graduates. We're at about an eighty five percent job placement.
So we not only will educate you, we also it's
serious business for us. We want to see you out
there and work, and so we are involved from A

You got some really interesting and sort of moving stories
about some of the graduates overcoming challenges in life and
pursuing this as a career absent or after efforts in
(10:12):
other areas. Because you're alluded to veterans sometimes find themselves
in a job that they really don't like and this
is an option for them. But you've got some really
good success stories. They're posted on your website as well.
