Online Digital Competition Opens as Part of
IDEAL Elite Trades Championship Series
SYCAMORE, Ill., June 16,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC., a
family-owned business that designs and manufactures products for
the professional trades, and Intersport, an independent
award-winning marketing agency headquartered in Chicago, today joined with ServiceTitan, a
software platform built to power the trades, to announce the
first-ever ServiceTitan HVAC National Championship competition. The
competition, now open, is the newest addition to the IDEAL Elite
Trades Championship Series and will celebrate and showcase the
incredible skills of HVAC professionals and students across the
country.
The program will include two qualifying rounds before 30
finalists (fifteen professionals and fifteen apprentices) are
selected for the all-expense-paid trip to compete in the National
Championship semi-finals and finals on Nov.
2 in Tampa, Florida. In
addition to title bragging rights, finalists will vie for cash and
prizes totaling over $115,000.
"Tradespeople are the country's backbone, and the pandemic
reminded us that we can't take our essential skilled trade workers
for granted," said Doug Sanford,
Senior Vice President of IDEAL INDUSTRIES, INC. "We're thrilled to
partner with ServiceTitan to expand on the success of the series to
include an all-new program focused on the HVAC technicians."
"Technicians are the unsung heroes that work tirelessly to keep
our heaters working in the dead of winter, and our air conditioners
running during a scorching summer heatwave," said Tom Howard, Vice President of Customer Success
at ServiceTitan. "For far too long the trades industry has not been
given the spotlight it deserves and I'm incredibly proud that
ServiceTitan is a part of this effort to showcase the skills and
experience of some of the most talented technicians in the
industry."
Unlike the other national championship events in the series,
which hold live regional qualifying events, the ServiceTitan HVAC
National Championship will have its qualifying events exclusively
online, increasing the opportunity for participation. The Digital
Online Qualifier round, which runs through July 31, is open to any HVAC apprentices with
less than three years of experience or any Professionals who are
EPA-Certified, Licensed Technicians, and have more than three years
of experience. While registration is required, there is no fee to
participate.
The qualifying round will feature a five-minute multiple-choice
test. Those who pass will advance to a practical skill set round,
which will run from Aug. 1-Sept. 25.
The top 15 apprentices and the top 15 professionals will be invited
to compete live in the semi-finals at the Tampa Convention
Center.
All qualifying round winners who advance to the semi-finals will
receive a custom VIP prize package from ServiceTitan HVAC National
Championship sponsors and an all-expenses-paid trip to Tampa, Florida, to compete in the 2022
program. Other sponsors supporting the ServiceTitan National
HVAC Championship include 7-Eleven,
Duluth Trading and Little Giant Ladder Systems.
