NASRC and ESCO Group launch New CO2 Curriculum Development Project
NASRC and ESCO Group recently joined forces to launch the development of a CO2 curriculum for community college and trade school HVAC&R programs. Through this partnership, we aim to address one of the root causes contributing to a shortage of technicians trained to install and service natural refrigerant technologies.
There are a number of factors contributing to this challenge, such as the shrinking technician workforce and limited trainings for technicians in the field. But in many cases, it begins with a lack of exposure to natural refrigerants during initial training.
Once the curriculum is finalized, our goal is to see it widely adopted by HVAC&R programs across the country to build a future technician workforce that is well-versed in CO2 technologies.
NASRC currently forming the committee who will contribute to this exciting project. NASRC looking for CO2 experts to contribute content and service contractors who can help scope the curriculum and provide feedback as sections are completed.
