COMPRESSED AIR TECHNICAL SERVICES "Keeping It Real" A country cannot thrive without a robust blue-collar workforce. For urban and suburban workers who think that food simply comes from the supermarket, and rely heavily on plumbers, electricians, carpenters and other blue-collar services because no one know how to do shit anymore we have a serious problem.  Our education system must more broadly encourage skills-based education.   Air compressor distributors are finding it increasing difficult to find technicians, or anyone for that matter who wants to learn the trades.  The questions we must ask ourselves, what can we do to expose young people to the trades.  Specialized degrees at colleges, vocational, trade schools and apprentice programs can help expose young folks to lucrative careers. Electricians and plumbers, compressor techs are in such high demand that some pull in six-figure salaries. It's up to us to turn this around. Our businesses depend on it, our country depends on it.   Merry Christmas My Friends.  

I love working with the trades. Perhaps it's simply my comfort zone from where I began my career all those years ago. Or ...Perhaps it is that I appreciate the hard work these talented workers put in. Trades are the life line to how all of our facilities operate. Without their skills and knowledge, we'd have nothing to operate from. I so very much appreciate my Electrician and Plumber. They always ask me to walk a job, and never ever complain about the time or paperwork we go through to verify their tasks are the safest option. I woke up this morning excited about a Confined Space job [I know...lame]. I knew it was an opportunity to not only audit our program but to also teach face to face. I knew of a bakery that just opened up down the street from me and I knew grabbing something little for them would help show my true appreciation for what they do. The job went incredibly well. Tons of learning opportunities for them and 2 hours to be in the field doing what I love most. After the job, I left the muffins [technically I think they are cupcakes] with a silly message on their desk. Although we were all doing our independent jobs, we all took the time to listen to one another. The communication piece is what generates a positive safety culture and a safer employee. Our jobs can feel thankless as safety professionals but I'm sure our trades feel the same. So here is to the power of communication between amazing, hard working trades and safety professionals. My favorite quote of the day was in response to my Plumber decending down a 15ft sump pit. Me, "How do you feel Charlie, you feel good with everything?" Charlie, "Yeah...cause I know you got my back." #powerfulmoments #Electrician #plumber #tradesman #trades #safety #confinedspace #program #JHA #Permits #monitoring #safetyprofessionals #safetyfirst

Attention job seekers! Are you considering a career in plumbing, pipefitting, or steamfitting? According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be an average of 42,600 job openings for these positions each year over the next decade. However, there's a catch - there simply aren't enough new plumbers to replace those heading into retirement. This shortage is due in part to the perception that these trades involve dirty work and long hours. Experts in the industry say that fixing this problem will take time, as it's a generational issue. So, if you're looking for a career with job security and growth potential, consider becoming a plumber or pipefitter. Don't let the misconceptions hold you back from a fulfilling and in-demand career.

Promoting Tradesman Jobs in Singapore When I was on the ITE Board of Governors, I was told that part time/night class students (ie people who have actually worked and know what the market wants) gravitate towards aircon technician courses. Tradesman skills are underappreciated in Singapore. But as I have written before, HVAC (not just aircon, but also heating) is a growth industry worldwide. Aircon because of global warming. Heating (yes, even in Singapore) because there is a need to move towards more efficient ways of heating water and for other industrial uses, eg by using heat pumps. In fact, I predict that in the coming decades, aircon repair will be classed as an emergency response service because of extreme heat, just like it is in the Middle East. I wish Mr Ho Boon Ping all the best in his aircon business. He is fortunate to have had a good boss and training opportunities. BTW, I absolutely agree with him about aircon contractors making unnecessary suggestions like topping up aircon refrigerant annually or whenever it is not cold. Look, the refrigerant pipes are a closed loop system. If refrigerant is running low, it means there is a leak somewhere. What is needed is some sort of gas that can be pumped into concealed aircon pipes that will solidify at the point of leak - does anyone know what this could be? Have heard of something like it before but could never find the product name. "While browsing through the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) website for courses I could apply for, it occurred to me that with Singapore being such a hot and humid country, we can’t live without air-conditioning. So I opted for a Nitec in Facility Technology (Air-Conditioning & Refrigeration), which I started in April 2010. During the course, I went on an exchange programme at Box Hill Institute in Melbourne, Australia, where I saw women and many locals in blue-collar jobs. I was even more surprised to hear that plumbers, electricians, and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) technicians were in demand in Australia. In May 2013, I started working for Stulz (Singapore) — a German air-conditioning services firm — as a service engineer. There, I learnt a lot about computer room air-conditioning and how temperature, humidity and airflow can affect machine performance. Stulz also sent me to Hamburg, Germany, for a week of training at its headquarters. It was an eye-opening experience. There, I also noticed that many of their technicians are locals as well." "It gives me great satisfaction when my customers give me good feedback on my work, and when I manage to solve their air-conditioning problems. To me, machines can’t do a hands-on job like mine. You need to be able to think on your feet. I feel that there will be great demand for skilled workers (plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians and so on), especially when fewer people are taking up such jobs."

🔧💡 Mastering the art of Plumbing? Here are four skills employers are seeking in a Plumber: Interpersonal Communications Skills: Beyond fixing pipes, effective communication is key. Plumbers need strong verbal skills, decision-making ability, troubleshooting skills, and collaborative prowess to ensure smooth interactions with clients. Safety Skills: Safety is non-negotiable in plumbing. With risks ranging from loud machinery to biohazardous materials, having a solid grasp of safety measures is a must. Hand-Eye Coordination: Precise and coordinated movements are crucial when working with tools and small plumbing components. Problem-Solving Skills: Quick thinking is a Plumber's superpower. The ability to assess situations, evaluate options, and determine the best course of action swiftly is indispensable. Efficiency is the name of the game - maximize your time, maximize your potential.

2 years ago, I started writing our HVAC curriculum. It was an immediate hit, and we've been adding great content, new tracks, and a second instructor (guy on the right, Jarett) ever since. About 9 months ago, I started trying to solve the puzzle of a plumbing curriculum that would not only help our newest apprentices hit the ground running, but also help all plumbers throughout our system. And what a cool odyssey this has been! Please welcome our plumbing instructor (guy on the left, Andrew) who will solve this puzzle with me. What about the past nine months? It isn't called an odyssey because it is easy or straightforward. Mistakes were made. Nobody ever talks about those on LinkedIn. Find people who share your company's values. If someone does not, they are not for you. And when someone IS aligned, train them and coach them to be the best. The original Odyssey lasted for 10 years with many ups and downs. Monsters. Success is never a straight line.

“You want to be the richest person on the planet right now? In Austin? Be in construction. Be an electrician. Be a plumber. $200,000 — average income of a good electrician here in Austin.” Interesting points from Tim Kennedy, a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience! We’re in the midst of a craft labor shortage in the US, but according to the law of supply and demand, skilled electricians, Pipefitters, and other tradespeople are in high demand and can charge high ticket prices. If Kennedy is correct, anyone with a high school degree and the right training can earn the same six-figure incomes that are associated with graduate degrees in law and medicine. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for electricians is expected to increase by 7% by 2031, bringing the national average to 79,900 job openings each year. Bloomberg recently reported we will be 550,000 plumbers short by 2027. With that many unfilled skilled craft worker positions nationally, parents, please encourage your kids to consider the trades! https://lnkd.in/gQwvaRRD
