The Virginia Department of Corrections (VDOC) and the Department of Correctional Education will give prisoners the opportunity to get valuable job training in energy efficiency through its Green Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Vocational Program. Located at the Indian Creek Correctional Center in Chesapeake, Virginia, the program is designed to provide prisoners with the education and experience they will need to enter careers in energy efficiency when they are released. Energy efficiency solutions company Johnson Controls developed the HVAC Vocational Program, which includes a training facility, state-of-the-art HVAC equipment and a complete curriculum taught by experienced instructors. The program will give offenders training in HVAC-related skills and careers such as service mechanics, controls technicians and maintenance specialists. "Not only is the Virginia DOC committed to managing an environmentally and fiscally responsible organization, they also understand the important role they play in their offenders' future lives," said Joy Clarke-Holmes, regional VP and general manager for building efficiency at Johnson Controls. "Our job training programs can help these inmates create a more sustainable community." Read More. |
