Thirty-one-year-old Q. Grier is a graduate of the pilot Project LiveFire program. She was previously a Sila warehouse associate for two years. “I joined the LiveFire training program because I really didn’t see much career growth staying in the warehouse long term. I went to Orleans Tech for HVAC, and I wanted to capitalize on the opportunity to learn more about the ins and outs of the trade.”
Grier says she believes the LiveFire program is very necessary for both experienced and inexperienced technicians. “John (the instructor) did an awesome job teaching every course and making sure we understood the lessons, even if that meant going over something more than once. Personally speaking, John really gave me a huge boost of confidence. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who is interested in working with their hands and learning something new every day. If you want to make a decent and consistent living, this is the way to get started.”
After graduating, Grier’s position with Sila King of Prussia location is a helper on installations and duct cleaning. “My managers are very aware how eager I am to learn it all from install, service, duct cleaning, and more. So far, they have been giving me plenty of opportunities to learn from all sides of HVAC, which I really appreciate and enjoy.”
She adds that it’s also good to know the company wants her to be successful and believes in her abilities.
