As a instructor I worry a lot about this next generation of adults who are coming up right now.
It seems like they have been massively affected by the influx of technology in our modern world.
I don’t understand how these adolescents are ever going to grow into real functioning adults when they are so reliant on cell iphones, iPads, & the internet, then don’t get me wrong, I guess that technology is seriously important & useful in various aspects of life. However, it has also trained our adolescents to be more adept at interacting with screens than other human beings. As a instructor in the local heating, cooling, & ventilation certification program at our trade university I certainly worry about the personal skills of our future Heating, Ventilation, & A/C professionals. When my pupils graduate from the heating, cooling, & air quality control program they will be certified heating & cooling professionals who are technically capable of entering the air quality control industry instantaneously. They can get a job at any Heating, Ventilation, & A/C repair shop as soon as they graduate. However, I’m upset that they might have the practical skills to inspect, maintain, & diagnose Heating, Ventilation, & A/C device but they seem to be lacking the personal skills to interact with residential Heating, Ventilation, & A/C owners. An important part of the job is conversing with the clients who request the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C repairs in the first location. If we have completely socially inept Heating, Ventilation, & A/C professionals entering the workforce they are going to have a hard time finding out what the air quality complaint is & collecting the bill at the end of the repair appointment. I don’t know if we’re making successful Heating, Ventilation, & A/C techs, at that point.
