In an effort to continue to support the training and development of the next generation of skilled tradespeople, Emerson announced that its Copeland and RIDGID brands are partnering with the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3). NC3 is a career and technical training organization that supports skilled trades advancement, including the HVACR industry. Emerson’s Greenlee® brand has been a partner with NC3 since 2016. Now, with the additional support of the Copeland and RIDGID brands, Emerson hopes to strengthen its partnership with NC3.
“For years, we’ve been committed to supporting industries in overcoming the skilled trades gap. Our ongoing efforts are designed to put more training into the hands of new technicians and partner with trade schools to advance curriculum whenever we can. NC3 helps us advance these goals,” said Tim Ferry, group president, Tools & Home Products for Emerson.
NC3 was established to help build a workforce prepared to meet the needs of industries by connecting employers and educational institutions. These synergistic partnerships foster effective training, elevation of skilled careers and employment opportunities. NC3 builds deep industry-educational partnerships. They develop, implement and sustain industry-recognized portable certifications built on national skills standards.
“As we continue to explore ways to increase education of Copeland products for new technicians, this is an important initiative for Emerson, and we are looking forward to extending this to other Emerson brands as this partnership grows,” said Brent Schroeder, group president, HVACR Technologies for Emerson.
