Overview

The Challenge: Increase the Supply of Heat Pump and HVAC Technicians
A growing supply gap in heat pump and HVAC technicians is increasing the risk of a bottleneck in statewide building retrofit and decarbonization efforts that are critical to meeting the Commonwealth's climate goals.
About Heat Pump & HVAC Training Network
The Heat Pump and HVAC Technician Training Network Program provides HVAC technician workforce training implementation and equipment grants to community colleges. These grants provide direct funding and technical assistance to community colleges to establish or upgrade HVAC training centers. By increasing access to modern, relevant training equipment and infrastructure, the colleges can build and scale career pathways that help Massachusetts residents access and advance in HVAC mechanic and technician occupations.
This program implements the commitment to launch additional HVAC training programs at community colleges statewide that Governor Maura Healey announced during her 2024 State of the Commonwealth address.
