HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning)
The demand for HVAC jobs is expected to grow faster in Florida than in any other state. In the next 10 years, the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics projects there will be close to 5,500 new HVAC jobs available in the state that already has the most HVAC jobs. That's an increase of 16%, compared to the projected national increase of 4%.
Course Progression:
- HVAC1- Basics
- HVAC2- Electrical
- HVAC3- AC/Refrigeration

Juniors and seniors will earn credits toward the apprenticeship program with the UA Local 295 Apprenticeship in Daytona Beach. Completion of that program after high school will qualify students for higher-paying jobs and work with residential/commercial machinery.
