The men and women attending the MEMA Technical Education Center come from a range of backgrounds. They’re at different places in their professional lives.
Many of our students have just graduated from high school and choose to bypass a four-year college in favor of a career in the trades.
Others have been working in another sector and recognize career opportunities in the HVAC-R industry.
We also proudly welcome many people transitioning out of the armed forces. Working with a heating and cooling company is an excellent way to keep serving your community.
What do all these people have in common? They all understand the value of learning a useful, rewarding trade at MTEC, and they’re all on a pathway to success in the growing HVAC-R field.
At MTEC, we take pride in our world-class facility, with its state-of-the-art hands-on lab space. We conduct our training using today’s high-efficiency equipment.

The level of knowledge they are coming out of school with is impressive, and it’s setting them up for success in the future. We are really assembling a great group of techs and we couldn’t do it without instructors like you and MTEC.” Abby Alden, Lake Region Energy
