In this episode, association leaders from the Midwest reveal how a new, regional mobile classroom program transformed their approach to oil heat service, overcoming technician shortages, and fueling growth for their state’s heating oil efforts. Discover how these associations collaborated across state lines to deliver hands-on oil heat training directly to local technicians, resulting in over 25 skilled workers trained in a single event, far exceeding expectations. 

Their conversation breaks down the strategies behind this success and how partnerships with HVAC associations and equipment suppliers helped drive awareness of this opportunity. Tune in to hear how this innovative mobile classroom concept became a blueprint for expanding access to critical training on oil heat systems and fostering new relationships.

In the Loop takes a deeper look at research initiatives, equipment considerations, renewable fuels, carbon reduction and technical education, propelling us towards a low-carbon future. For more information, visit noraweb.org.
