Remco Inc.

Remco's own Wayne Headley (HVAC Service Manager) and Dale Wynings ( HVAC Field Manager) stopped by the Pennsylvania College of Technology recently. They were there to extend a job offer to Parker Oswald- a student in his final semester. Parker impressed our team during his internship and we are proud to be bringing him onboard full time! Congratulations Parker!

Earlier this month Remco's Training Coordinator Dave King spoke with a group of 1st year trade school students. Dave spoke about the many career opportunities these students had before giving them a tour of our training facility. He also took time to drive home the importance of integrity in the skilled trades. At Remco we are proud that INTEGRITY is one of our core values. We speak with truth, honesty, and humility to value those that we work with each day. Dave shared his thoughts on integrity and why it's so important for a skilled tradesmen to have. Integrity also means a commitment to high-quality workmanship and safety standards. In many skilled trades, the quality of the work directly impacts the safety and well-being of the people who use a space. A plumber who cuts corners with faulty installations, an electrician who bypasses safety regulations, or a carpenter who uses subpar materials jeopardizes not only their reputation but also the lives of the individuals relying on their expertise. Passing on the skill is important but passing on good ethics to the next generation of tradesmen is essential. Integrity in the skilled trades is not just a personal virtue but a professional necessity. It builds trust with clients, ensures quality work, promotes safety, and cultivates long-term business relationships. The value of integrity cannot be overstated—it is the foundation on which lasting success in the skilled trades is built.

The trades provide incredible job stability (can’t be outsourced overseas) and growth opportunity! Not to mention there is so much variety within each trade. We need to highlight all the benefits of choosing to go into the trades vs a 4year college.

This! While many tradesman find the hands on learning more satisfying than a traditional college atmosphere the work absolutely requires intelligence, perseverance, and critical thinking. Especially in today’s changing environment tradesmen are learning to work with new technologies all the time to stay competitive. Not a field for the faint of heart (or mind)!

Grow The Game- Why Everyone In The Trades Needs To Be Looking Ahead   There aren't enough skilled tradesmen.    To those of us who work in or around the trades - this is not news. We see signs and shortages everywhere. The average age of a tradesman is around 55-and growing each year. As the current population of tradesmen retires, less and less young people are pursuing the trades-causing a gap that seems to only be growing.    There are a lot of factors that contribute to this. Young people are being pushed toward traditional college programs, vocational schools being seen as a "less than" option, lack of exposure, etc. What we know for sure is it will take a concentrated effort to reverse these trends, requiring an attitude shift not just from people outside the trades but inside as well. We need to start placing a greater emphasis on growing the game. Embracing opportunities to expose young people to the trades, to elevate the industry, and make people aware of what we already know: the trades are an incredible career option with huge growth potential, freedom, and stability.    It will take a conscious effort of industry leaders in boardrooms, as well as technicians in the field. We all play a part in growing the game. We all need to be actively looking for opportunities to encourage young people to embrace our industries as a valid option.   Just this week one of our HVAC technicians embodied this philosophy when he had a student do a ride along. Ride alongs allow for students to see what a day in the life is for our technicians-and a chance for our technicians to contribute to the growth and development of the next generation.   It's a win-win for everyone. For more information on our ride along program contact Amy Sefcheck at Amy.Sefcheck@remcopa.com! #HVAC #Trades #Tradesman #Refrigeration #SkilledLabor
