Philip J., HVAC student
"HVAC Associate Professor Howard Hendren introduced me to the Lennox representatives, who handed me a business card. I followed up and after I completed my certificate, I was hired by Lennox as an entry-level commercial technician. Because of JCCC, I was able to prove to my employer I knew the basics, which is what they were looking for."
