Workforce Development Solutions
The commercial refrigeration industry faces an increasingly critical technician shortage that is disrupting essential operations, creating a bottleneck to transitioning away from hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, and threatening U.S. supermarkets’ ability to meet new regulatory requirements.
In 2022, NASRC conducted an assessment to evaluate challenges and opportunities to grow the technician workforce. The Workforce Development Report outlines data-driven findings and recommendations to improve technician recruitment, training, and retention.
