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.
