Demand for HVACR technicians is expected to
grow by 9 percent through 2033.
ORLANDO,
Fla., Feb. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/
-- Universal Technical Institute-Orlando will begin
offering a Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
(HVACR) program beginning in March, adding to the four programs the
campus currently offers. UTI is the skilled trades, transportation
and energy education division of Universal
Technical Institute, Inc.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of
heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and
installers is projected to grow 9 percent from 2023 to 2033, much
faster than the average for all occupations. This underscores the
need for technicians who support the systems that control air
quality and temperature in residential, commercial, and industrial
settings.
The nine-month HVACR program will cover air handling and
hydronics, AC and DC circuits and components, sheet metal ductwork,
vent system selection and installation, and mechanical and
electronic controls troubleshooting. Once launched, the campus will
offer automotive, diesel, marine, motorcycle, and HVACR
programs.
UTI-Orlando Campus President Tim Dauber shared, "As
enrollment opens for our new HVACR program, we're addressing the
growing demand for skilled technicians in Florida's dynamic and expanding temperature
control industry."
Universal Technical Institute Division President Tracy Lorenz noted, "With the nationwide demand
for skilled HVACR technicians on the rise, we are rapidly expanding
our training programs to equip students with the expertise needed
to thrive in this vital and evolving field."
The addition of HVACR at the Orlando campus expansion is part of Universal
Technical Institute Inc.'s corporate "North Star" strategy of
growth, diversification and optimization. The strategy includes the
launch of eight full-length programs at existing UTI campuses and a
new UTI campus in Atlanta.
