Lincoln Tech Celebrates 20th Graduating Class from the Hussmann TechX Training Center - Seite 2

When Lincoln partnered with Hussmann in 2018, a central component was the construction of the TechX training facility in Grand Prairie. At the time, Fred Gentry – Hussmann’s Technician Development Leader – described the possibilities for the partnership as “endless.”

“As we begin to fill our greatest need – bringing young technicians into the field – we’re also looking forward to educating our existing techs and doing more advanced training,” Gentry said. “The possibilities here are literally endless.”

Graduates from Lincoln Tech’s HVAC program at any of its campuses across the country may apply for acceptance into the TechX training program. Trainees accepted into the program bear almost no added expense for the additional training. Hussmann pays tuition and fees, as well as relocation expenses, and provides a pathway-to-work following graduation. Dube says he jumped at the chance for advanced training when he learned about the Hussmann opportunity.

“It was too good to pass up,” he says. “Hussmann offers a guaranteed job up to five years faster than if you didn’t come through TechX. It meant the chance to make more money quickly. If your goal is a career that’s financially rewarding, you can be very successful.”

The Connecticut transplant says he was able to buy a house on a Texas lake thanks to his Lincoln Tech training and Hussmann career, and because of the commitment he put into learning as much as he could, as quickly as he could. His career was taking off at an age when many four-year college graduates are still juggling debt and arduous job searches.

“TechX is an amazing opportunity,” he says. “I love this trade and I take new TechX classes on tours of some of the supermarkets we serve: Costcos, Krogers, Wal-Marts, Sam’s Clubs and more. I want new students to be excited and motivated by the opportunities that are out there for them.”

For Dube and more than 200 graduates like him, Lincoln Tech’s partnership with Hussmann has paid life-changing dividends.
