MACCA manages
a tri-county program to strengthen career and technical school education
for entry-level and skilled technicians who install, service, and maintain
air-conditioning and heating equipment. This effort combines the talents
and resources of manufacturers, contractors, wholesalers, and educators,
among others in an ongoing program to upgrade technician competency by
improving basic education and training.
In addition to quality education, MACCA is also concerned with ensuring that enough students enter the HVACR industry as technicians to properly maintain the equipment.
