“Employers value soft skills more than ever before,” said Coscia. “Apprentices that have good soft skills will earn more money in their careers and maximize profits for their employers. The courses’ innovative and engaging instructional design makes it easy for students to learn these critical skills.”

The PHCC Educational Foundation and the PHCC Academy® focus on workforce development, management education and technical training to advance the growth and career success of those employed in the plumbing and HVAC industry by leveraging technology to give access to students on demand. “Our goal is to make learning accessible, convenient and engaging for our students,” says Hall.
