AUBURN — The Center for Workforce and Professional Development at Central Maine Community College is partnering with area employers and service providers to recruit candidates interested in completing their heat pump installer training.

This 40-hour course meets the Efficiency Maine heat pump installer training requirements needed to qualify for rebates, financing and sales leads. Using both classroom and hands-on lab instruction, it covers how to professionally install heat pump indoor units, outdoor units and line sets. Students will get hands-on experience installing these state-of-the-art HVAC systems that are revolutionizing heating and cooling.

As of April 25, just one of the three summer training sessions had approved dates. It is set to run from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, June 3-7, at the 1250 Turner St. campus.

The center is also offering a free welding academy from Monday, May 20, to Thursday, July 11. The course covers a variety of welding techniques, such as MIG and TIG welding, industry-standard weld joints, print reading, basic metallurgy, sheet metal forming, tube welding, and grinding and polishing.

Information and registration for both programs is available at centralmaine.cc/workforceapply, or by contacting workforcedevelopment@cmcc.edu or 207-755-5280.
