RSI graduate William Cote on what it's like being an essential worker:
"Work life in this pandemic has changed a lot. We are now expected to wear face masks all day and to make sure they're secure. We wash our hands a lot. One job site I worked at required a face shield worn at all times while inside the building. Things have changed a lot, and safety procedures have been put in place because of this pandemic."

"I enjoy that there are so many different things you can do with this education. If the company you work for is big enough, you can move from one part to the next, learning more and more about the industry and never getting bored. I just find it interesting." - Toby Overton, graduate of the Electro-Mechanical Technologies program at RSI.
"I help build the chambers, the actual machines, and I also go out on service calls. Most of the time, we work in a controlled environment like a testing lab. It’s challenging every day, which I enjoy, and it lets me feel like I’ve accomplished something when I go home. Sometimes I go home happy, and sometimes I go home mad as hell, kicking rocks, because something should have been a simple fix." - RSI graduate Rhoanna King, talking about her job.

Zach Nelson knew he needed a career by the time he hit his mid-20s, but he was working at a dentistry doing office work. It wasn’t going to give him the opportunities he wanted.
So he took a leap of faith and enrolled in the Refrigeration Technologies program at RSI. His uncle made good money in HVAC, so why couldn’t he? He enjoyed every minute of the hands-on learning, graduating with a 4.0 GPA and perfect attendance.
Zach now works for Elite Mechanical, doing commercial HVAC. He sees his future doing refrigeration. He makes good money with skills that not many people can claim to have.
No one is guaranteed success, but HVAC students usually graduate more quickly than students of 4-year colleges do.

When Javonte Obrien had decided he’d had enough of jobs in warehouses and security, and that a traditional 4-year university wasn’t for him, he enrolled in the Welding Specialist program at RSI.
Every week he had something new to learn. Even though he had never tried welding before, the instructors at RSI pushed him not just to become a welder—but a great welder. After graduation, Javonte got a job at Pro Steel Erectors in Chandler, AZ, allowing him to take better care of his family.
Javonte plans to become more experienced in structural welding and pipe welding over the next few years and eventually move back to California to pursue more high-paying welding jobs.
Javonte’s advice to new RSI welding students:
“Be confident in yourself and your work. Be adaptable. Working hard always pay off. It will get you somewhere good. Stay motivated, keep your head high and do the work that no one else wants to. Never give up. There were times going through school when it was tough. But it’s your money that you’re paying, and this is a skill you can use for the rest of your life.”
Eventually, an HVAC mistake is inevitable!
