Job prospects for air-conditioning, heating, and refrigeration technicians are expected to be very good. In addition to jobs created by economic growth, thousands of openings will result from the need to replace workers who leave the labor force. Prospects should continue to be good for well-trained appliance repairers, particularly those with a strong background in electronics.

Gainful employment programs are those “that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation.” Public institutions are required to report this information for all undergraduate and graduate programs that are Title IV eligible and that lead to certificates, diplomas, graduate certificates or specialist awards. Reporting is not required for undergraduate certificates and diplomas less than 16 credits and graduate certificates and specialist awards that are less than 8 credits. Degree programs at all levels are not considered to be gainful employment programs.
