In this episode of the Refrigeration Mentor Podcast, host Trevor Matthews talks with Rusty Walker, Training Director with the North American Sustainable Refrigeration Council (NASRC) about the challenges and new strategies of attracting young people to the refrigeration trade. Like many skilled trades, the refrigeration industry is currently having to innovate and adapt to changes in the workforce and vastly new generational mindset when it comes to the work world. Here, Rusty dives into the importance of work-life balance, hands-on immersive training, and continuous education as focal points for both attracting new technicians and keeping current trainers up-to-date. We also discuss creating greater awareness at the school level to open the door for young people to consider the benefits, gratification and earning potential of refrigeration as a career. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 AHR Expo.
