Emily Griffith Technical College Faces Challenges with Vacant HVAC Installation Instructor Position
Emily Griffith Technical College, a renowned institution in Denver, found itself in an unexpected predicament last winter when a job opening for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) installation instructor went unfilled for six months. The position, which was advertised on trade association websites, LinkedIn, and emailed to relevant advisory committees and graduates of the college, remained vacant throughout this period.
During this time, the college may have had to adjust its schedule or curriculum to accommodate the vacancy, potentially causing a delay in the progress of HVAC students. The lack of a permanent instructor may have also impacted the quality of education for these students, as they were left without a dedicated teacher to guide them through their studies.
The college administration may have been under pressure to fill the position, given the potential impact on the HVAC program and the students' learning experience. However, no temporary or interim instructor was hired during this six-month period.
The absence of a permanent HVAC installation instructor was felt beyond the college's walls. The students at Emily Griffith Technical College were affected by the vacant position, and the college may have faced challenges in maintaining the HVAC program due to the vacancy.
Despite these challenges, the college has not disclosed any specific details about the reasons for the delay in filling the position or the start date for the HVAC instructor. The chair for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning at Emily Griffith Technical College during the last winter months was Mr. John Smith.
As the college continues to search for a permanent HVAC installation instructor, it remains to be seen how the vacancy will affect the upcoming academic year and the future of the HVAC program at Emily Griffith Technical College.
