Propane Instructor Testimonials

Great presentation! GeneratioNext Propane Pros did a great job of explaining the role of an HVAC technician in the propane industry. I believe it will give our students additional areas for opportunity in not only the HVAC field but also the propane industry. Again, thank you for the presentation.

“Sage Truck Driving School recently partnered with GeneratioNext Propane Pros to provide our CDL students with yet another career opportunity upon graduation. I am so passionate about GeneratioNext Propane Pros because they don’t just represent one company, they represent all the propane employers in Texas, they offer a financially rewarding career and have positions for both short-haul and long-haul driving. We are excited to continue to partner with GeneratioNext Propane Pros and have them educate our future CDL classes on the propane industry!”

Partnering with GeneratioNext Propane Pros to present our CDL students career opportunities in the propane industry has been a great addition to our placement efforts. Our students are able to learn that the propane industry offers a number of local CDL jobs, where they can make a good income but still be home at night. The interaction with our students was very informative; showing them the GenerationNext website where they could not only see what jobs are available in their area, but also get details about them was an exciting tool for them to use and having a local propane employer speak with the students about their company was very effective also. We look forward to continuing to partner with GeneratioNext Propane Pros and educating our CDL students on yet another career option!

GeneratioNext Propane Pros is a great partner for Crowder College! They provide our CDL students with so much information about another career opportunity available to them in the propane industry. Many of our students hadn’t considered the propane industry prior to the presentation. The students were impressed with the information and the benefits offered – especially the opportunity for them to use their CDL either over the road or locally where they can be home each night. We had some students reach out to propane employers directly after the presentation. We look forward to continuing to have GeneratioNext Propane Pros educate our CDL classes on jobs in the propane industry!

Ms. Wilson and the propane companies in the Southeast Propane Alliance shared the propane industry’s career strategy to the students, as many were not aware of job openings and progression possibilities within the industry. After the presentation, several students were looking at the website for possible local job opportunities.

GeneratioNext Propane Pros conducted an informational session for our students. They covered
ways that students could connect with employers offering good jobs at propane and HVAC companies. It is good to see industries reaching out to vocational students this way. Employment with a good company where you can continue to grow and learn after official trade school can be the most daunting part of a career journey in the trades. Thank you, GeneratioNext Propane Pros!

“Our CDL Program at Big Bend Community College had the opportunity to learn about the careers in the propane industry. Students were able to learn about the career benefits and specific job openings in the area. Should students choose to utilize their CDL in the propane industry, they can do over the road transport or be home each night. GeneratioNext Propane Pros provided tons of valuable insight into an industry the students hadn’t considered before. There was a lot of interest, and we look forward to continuing to have GeneratioNext present to our CDL classes.”

SOTI was proud to host the GenerationNext Propane Pros Presentation to our class today. It offered our students a chance to see a whole other side of an industry that they didn’t even realize existed. It has generated plenty of good conversation in our classroom, and we highly appreciated the first-hand experience of the presenter. This will be a message I will bring to future classes, and I hope I can bring others into the propane business.

The North Carolina Propane Gas Association’s career presentation allowed our students to consider options outside of the traditional residential and commercial HVAC industry. The benefits and growth opportunities available through careers in the propane industry had our students talking after the presentation. Students get excited when they learn about the need for skilled workers and the demand for their services. Having another potential pathway to choose from when making that career decision adds to students’ sense of security and stability. Time well spent!
