WIOA Expands Skills Into The HVAC World
Program Details
Quentin Douglas was a bright participant in Capital Area Career Center’s Skilled Trades Essentials Program (STEP) for Youth. Quentin consistently demonstrated a stellar work ethic, skill mastery, and leadership abilities during his training. These qualities helped Quentin earn his EPA and OSHA certifications while enrolled in STEP. His efforts placed him at the top of the class both in the classroom setting and in the shop. One instructor said that, “Quentin was always eager to learn more. He always asked for more work and opportunities to hone his skills.” In search of those opportunities, Quentin went on to Lincoln Land Community College’s HVAC training following the Skilled Trades Essentials Program. WIOA funding allowed Quentin to expand his skills into the HVAC world, and he is now successfully employed at Allied Heating and Cooling.
