The Industrial Maintenance Technology Program at Tyler Junior College (TJC) and Trane Technologies in Tyler have developed an apprenticeship program together.
The program enables current employees to learn new skills and earn a degree, while increasing their earning potential and helping to offset the retiring workforce of the company.
This is a two-year offering during which apprentices work on a full-time basis in the maintenance department at Trane while attending classes at TJC, which Trane pays for. The maintenance supervisor at Trane, Douglas Hannah, said that this requires working 40 hours a week as well as going to school, so that an associate's degree is earned. He added that this not only benefits Trane but those in the program as well as they will have a college degree which will improve their livelihoods and their lives in the future.
More details about such programs and their requirements are often provided with brochure printing.
Hannah added that many have been at the company for over 20 years and as they are looking to retire, it is often difficult to replace them. He said that there are currently many already employed at the company who are incredibly talented, working in the fabrication shops or on the assembly lines, and they could be even more valuable with this apprenticeship program.
