Numerous industry reports indicate that, in order to meet growing demand for service and support, the U.S. will need an additional two million field service workers by 2021. As alarming as this projection sounds, there are feasible solutions to the talent shortage problem.

In May‘ 2018, the display equipment and refrigeration systems manufacturer partnered with Lincoln Tech’s Prairie TX campus to develop and launch their inaugural eight-week TechX advanced refrigeration training program. To date, Hussmann recruited 72 and retained 63 TechX graduates on their services team.
