    Are you good with your hands and a problem-solver? The FORTIS HVACR program will prepare you for entry-level employment in the skilled trades working in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration field.

    Medical Assisting:

    Medical Assistants are essential to a well-run healthcare facility. They not only provide hands-on patient care under the direction of doctors and nurses, but also perform basic lab work, and help keep medical offices running smoothly. As our elderly population continues to grow, there will be an increased need for trained medical assistants. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), job opportunities for medical assistants will grow much faster than the average for all occupations nationally over the next decade.

    HVAC:

    Keeping the environment safe and comfortable is only one aspect of work for the HVAC technician. As environmental systems have become more complex, there is an increased need for trained technicians who can install, maintain and repair heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, due to the increasing complexity of these systems, employers are increasingly seeking technicians who have graduated from formal training programs. Students in the FORTIS Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) program receive both hands-on and classroom training in the installation, maintenance, and repair of HVAC and refrigeration systems so they are prepared for an entry-level position.
