RSI is a Great Training Option for Everyone

Learn more about how we can prepare you to advance your career.

Congratulations on your high school graduation, class of 2024. We celebrate you. Are you ready to take the world by storm? You have options. If you are considering college, you can apply to a four-year college or get a specialized diploma in a trade industry. While most of your peers are starting University in the fall, The Refrigeration School (RSI) offers trade programs that can be completed in months rather than years.

What are the Benefits of Attending a Trade Program vs a 4-Year College?

Completing a trade program offers many benefits compared to four years at a university. Some of the benefits include:

A Quick Turnaround

RSI offers trade programs in HVAC, Electrical Applications, and Welding that can be completed in 6 to 7 months. That is much faster than 2 to 4 years. Plus, that means you will start earning much quicker than your peers.

Specialized Curriculum

While many high school graduates opt for University, they may take general education courses for the first two years. Those courses will make you a well-rounded student, but maybe you want to learn a specialized trade and start working quickly. The good news is that RSI offers trade programs that focus only on what you need to become a trade professional and nothing extra. There is no need to take a 15th Century Art Appreciation course, just the fundamentals of a trade you are interested in.

Hands-On Training

Most of your University experience will be in large lecture halls, listening to instructors review book knowledge. You may be able to complete a Biology or Chemistry course with lab hours attached. The benefit of attending a trade program is that most of your time is spent learning the trade, completing real-world scenarios, and getting direct feedback from your instructor. Class sizes are small, so you get personalized attention and can network with classmates and instructors to help you find a job after graduation.

Career Services

RSI actively helps graduates find jobs after graduation. We have strong ties with the community and keep in touch with employers ready to hire trade professionals. We help you write an eye-catching resume, prepare for interviews, and introduce you to hiring managers in the Phoenix area.
