HVAC
Cory Arant
A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Cory Arant transitioned from military service to the skilled trades, pursuing an HVAC apprenticeship focused on both residential and commercial systems. “It was an easy decision to seek a career in HVAC,” said Arant. “A career in HVAC means safety for my community in the winter and comfort in the summer. It helps hospitals move clean air and schools provide warmth. That is why I have decided to seek a career in this field.”
