By Green Horizon One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning Bobby Ferrel, owner of One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning of Durham, established student scholarship to support local individuals interested in pursuing HVAC in Durham area..
The $1,000 annual scholarship, established through partnership with his college, is dedicated to Ferrel's and Durham mainstay, Rick Etheridge.
Etheridge, served the City of Durham for more than 30 years, 15 of those as Chief Mechanical Inspector...
We will be awarding up to three recipients each year with this scholarship, stated Ferrel..
Our intent is to encourage more young people to take look at HVAC as career option...
For this reason, Ferrel is also working hard toward establishing apprenticeship program with the college and high schools to expose young people to HVAC industry and its potential for growth and comfortable lifestyle...
HVAC industry offers opportunity for career, yet it's often overlooked when young people begin to think about their future endeavors, said Ferrel..
The scholarship and apprenticeship program will hopefully give whole new era of folks window into the lifestyle you can attain with hard work and training in this industry...
The scholarship serves as the first of its kind for Durham Tech and is the first of more to come from Ferrel..
I'm hoping to expand this scholarship program to few other colleges and get the apprenticeship program into more high schools.
