GOETTL’S INAUGURAL PROTECH BOOT CAMP CELEBRATES 100% GRADUATION RATE

Next Generation Plumbers and HVAC Techs Celebrated at Ceremony

In a ceremony that took place Friday, May 3, Goettl Air Conditioning & Plumbing celebrated the graduating class of the company’s inaugural ProTech Boot Camp. Tailored for individuals with little or no experience in the trades, the paid 8-week training program took only 16 candidates: eight plumbers and eight HVAC techs. The program achieved a 100 percent graduation rate, and all students were offered full-time jobs with Goettl.

“I really hope this boot camp continues,” says graduate Kalif Silva-Giersdorf. “I would like other people to have this opportunity as well because it really helped me out, and I’m really grateful for this program.”

“[The program] is meant to teach our folks the basics so that they have a good, strong understanding, and then we will help them to grow through the Goettl Academy and on-the-job training so they can have the careers they are looking for,” says John Hudson, ProTech Boot Camp Training Facilitator.

Among graduation attendees were Ken Goodrich, Goettl’s Chairman and founder, and Ken Evans, member of Nevada’s Governor’s Workforce Development Board.

“We are thrilled to celebrate all these young men and women who put in the hard work over the past couple of months to embark on a rewarding career journey. We are blessed to have them join our Goettl family. HVAC and plumbing work involves helping people live and work in a safe and comfortable environment with access to clean water and air. These trades are essential, and employment prospects are expected to burn brightly for quite some time,” says Goodrich.

The program’s comprehensive training took place at Goettl’s state-of-the-art training facility in Las Vegas, offering a blend of classroom lectures, hands-on labs, and invaluable field experience with seasoned professionals.

We came for a quick trip and walked in to our family member’s home with no AC. I called this company on a Sunday, and a holiday weekend no less, and they were able to get us in the same day and fixed the problem quickly. Thank you!

Joseph Gutierrez came out And provided a very in-depth conversation on the systems they have for water softeners and carbon filter combinations. I was debating over another product with a different company and he very thoroughly explained the difference. This led me to decide on moving forward with their system, An exceptional employee, and I am sure the company appreciate his professionalism as much as I did.

We were hearing hammering between the walls. Tyler came out to my home to perform an evaluation. After doing several tests he quickly found the issue. We discussed several options. I ultimately opted to have the problem fixed to avoid damage to other appliances. He completed the work in a timely manner.

Peter helped a lot with explaining the root cause of our AC unit not functioning as well as it should be, and explaining why he recommended the fix/parts that he did. Took plenty of time to troubleshoot what was actually going on as opposed to just treating the symptoms, and explained in an easy-to-understand way what he found and how to fix it. He also gave good advice about simple DIY maintenance we can do moving forward to keep the system healthy! Goettl as a whole was very easy to work with and I was able to book an appointment as early as the day following my phone call. Great service from start to finish!
