Lab time gives students the opportunity to apply the skills they have learned. Training equipment, lab projects, computer simulators, and on-site service work allow the student to receive hands-on training to reinforce classroom instruction.

In lieu of on-campus training, students are allowed the opportunity to take full-time employment with their future employer. Completion of the externship packet is required, as well as all assigned class/shop activities. Students not on an externship will remain on campus and complete the HVAC/R RE: 8 quarter or until they go on externship. The RE: 8 quarter will focus on reviewing curriculum in and out of the classroom, working on projects in and out of the lab, scheduling ride-alongs, submitting resumes, and attending job interviews. In addition, in order to be eligible for an externship the student must work under a licensed journeyman with appropriate electrical license or waive the credited 2000 electrical hours. Students must complete the required assignments prior to going on externship. If the student does not obtain an externship, completion of the HVAC/R capstone project is required.
