Kimberly Smith: HVAC/R student at HGTC!

 

Kimberly recently decided to go back to school in search of a more stable career to support her family.  She began to research growing career fields in her area, and quickly decided she was a great candidate for the HVAC/R program at Horry-Georgetown Technical College.

Kimberly was not only drawn here for the low cost and convenient class schedules, but also because of the job placement rate of HGTC’s graduating students.  Her professors have worked in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration fields and ensured her that if she works hard, she will be employed upon completion of the program.

Kimberly hopes to go to work as a technician making a steady salary immediately after graduation.  She then plans to move up in the industry and to eventually even own her own HVAC/R company with employees working for her.

Congratulations, Kimberly, for being chosen at HGTC’s January Spotlight Student!
