Desiree’s Answer
If you want to go straight into learning on the job, you can start as an installer. Many companies will train you to install new HVAC systems, run ductwork, etc. You would be partnered with a more experienced installer. To move up and make more money, you need to get some training to learn the mechanical/repair side.
Look for a company that is hiring installers and see if they are willing to train you on the job. This does happen!
