ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Women in
HVACR (WHVACR), a nonprofit organization dedicated to
empowering women in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and
refrigeration trades, announced today that it is a sponsor of the
2024 ServiceTitan Elite Trades Championship Series (ETCS) to be
held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sept. 11–13.
"This competition is like the Olympics for HVAC employees in
that it showcases the very best HVAC technicians and apprentices
from across the country who will compete at an elite level," said
Women in HVACR Executive Director Amy
O'Grady. "Women in HVACR is thrilled to sponsor such an
exciting event that celebrates the skills that hardworking men and
women of the trades have to perform every day to make sure we stay
warm in the winter and cool in the summer."
The ServiceTitan ETCS series is a competition of elite
professionals and apprentices in the heating, ventilation and air
conditioning (HVAC) industry who will showcase their skills in a
custom-built arena. The program was built to celebrate the
incredible range of skills tradesmen and women perform daily to
install, maintain and repair America's HVAC systems.
In addition to the competition, Women in HVACR president,
Lori Tschohl, has been selected as a
featured speaker at the ETCS Student & Apprentice Summit held
alongside the championship competition. The summit welcomes
hundreds of students who are studying or apprenticed to become
skilled trades workers and allows them to experience some light
hands-on activities to gain a deeper understanding of the trade,
explore potential career paths and connect with industry
professionals.
At the summit, Tschohl will give a 10-minute presentation and
then answer student questions.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Women in HVACR to speak to
the next generation of women about the advantages they have if they
choose a career in the skilled trades," said Tschohl, owner of
Eagle Pipe & Mechanical, a leading HVAC contractor in
Poulsbo, WA. "We're excited about
our role at the event and the student summit. We look forward to
both the competition and to talking with students entering the HVAC
industry."
