Director's Message

Choosing a career in the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry is a smart move. With natural gas being used extensively in over two million Ontario homes, businesses and industries, it’s easy to see that the demand for skilled trades people is growing. What’s more, in Ontario today most industries including the HVAC industry are experiencing a shortage of skilled trades people, and that means more opportunity for everyone.

At Union Gas, we’re committed to ensuring that an adequate supply of bright, capable and qualified technicians are available. As you know, HVAC technicians are well-paid and well-educated and enjoy a high standard of living. The right training can make your HVAC career even more rewarding. Upgrading your Gas Technician certification to the next level is a smart plan that will keep you at the top of the HVAC field. It’s a simple idea.

The more skilled you are, the more in demand your services will be and the wider the scope of your job responsibilities and opportunities.

The first step in taking advantage of training courses the HVAC industry has to offer is to review the college information we’ve included. To find out more, you can check out your local college web site (included in this brochure) or visit www.edu.gov.on.ca. Gas Technician training is also available at a number of private training providers throughout Ontario.
