Trade skills such as residential and commercial appliance repair have never been in higher demand. But in order to prepare students to enter the service industry, trade schools need adequate training materials to educate their students.
Mark Anderson, a regional service manager from Sub-Zero Group, represents the company in his long-time involvement with the National SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills Conference. This year, under his guidance, Sub-Zero Group donated to schools across the nation by providing the highest quality appliances to their training programs.
Sub-Zero Supports Technical Colleges Around the US
When Sub-Zero Group donates to schools, it provides more than just financial support. In the past, through Mr. Anderson’s relationship with SkillsUSA, the Group has provided laptops for trade school students.
This year, Mr. Anderson and Sub-Zero increased their support through appliance manufacturer donations to community colleges, technical colleges, and trade schools. By donating a range of high-end appliances to technical training programs throughout the nation, Sub-Zero helps students practice their craft and gain hands-on knowledge.
