Introduction
Professional & Workforce training provides fast, efficient, in-depth, and highly-interactive safety training through classroom instruction and hands-on experience.
For students who can’t afford the time and resources, trades training provides the skills necessary to become qualified professionals in a variety of trades.
This type of learning, also known as career and technical education (CTE), blends academic and technical instruction to prepare graduates for direct entry into the workforce.
Minnesota firms are struggling to hire qualified mechanics, technicians and other tradespeople.
By 2020, the Center on Education and the Workforce estimates that 65 percent of all occupations will require some form of postsecondary training and education

The HVAC training class provided by Anoka Tech was very helpful to me in my career. Working in apartment maintenance for 10 years I felt pretty comfortable working on most HVAC equipment but was impressed with the new information and techniques I learned during our classes with our instructor Jim. He taught the course materials well and made it easy for me to grow my knowledge of the in depth workings of standard HVAC systems. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking into either starting a career in HVAC or anyone in the maintenance industry who would like to expand their knowledge and abilities. - Adam Vaughn, Service Supervisor, Nordhaus
