The students will receive several valuable certifications, including:  \n• OSHA 10 certification  \n• EPA-approved Section 608 Technician Certification  \n• Brazing certification for HVAC technicians  \nUpon successfully completing the program, students will have enough class hours to sit for the state HVAC exam.  \nLeading the way in this initiative is Santa Fe businessman Robert Romero, owner of Fahrenheit Work Metals LLC, who instructs NMCD students as they pursue their HVAC certification.  \n“This is something that’s bigger than myself and bigger than my own company,” said Robert Romero, HVAC class instructor.“We’re putting something bigger than us ahead of ourselves, for the greater good of our community.”  \nThis initiative is funded by the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (DWS), through the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) .  \n“We know that having the skills and a clear career path can make all the difference in the success of someone re-entering the community from prison. The HVAC program provides a second chance to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to their communities,” said DWS Cabinet Secretary Sarita Nair.“We are proud to be part of this program and the work the Northern Local Workforce Development Board is doing through Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funding.”  \nHVAC mechanics are in high demand in New Mexico, with a projected employment growth of 16.2 percent and a median wage of $46,250 .  \nRaw broll: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wza0sfwyz3626nul4pg4y/PNM-HVAC-Program](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wza0sfwyz3626nul4pg4y/PNM-HVAC-Program)[Broll.mp4?rlkey=pj8qgeizzt64guv1dhlbkt80m&st=e93fqtyd&dl=0](Broll.mp4?rlkey=pj8qgeizzt64guv1dhlbkt80m&st=e93fqtyd&dl=0)  \n\\#\\#\\#  \nThe New Mexico Corrections Department (NMCD) is one of the largest state departments in  \nNew Mexico.
