KANSAS CITY, KAN. ----- After serving in the United States Army for nine years, Jake Carmack was looking for a new path. He took a class in basic refrigeration at what was then the Kansas City, Kansas Area Vocational Technical School (AVTS) in 1980.
Carmack had been a technician in the major appliance repair field for a number of years when an opportunity presented itself to apply for an instructor position at the same school.
I always enjoyed teaching and the idea of becoming an instructor was a happy opportunity for me, said Carmack, the current Major Appliance Technology instructor at Kansas City Kansas Community Colleges Dr. Thomas R. Burke Technical Education Center (KCKCC-TEC). That was eight years ago and Carmack has enjoyed instructing a number of successful students as well as serving as a coordinator for the schools Skills USA competitions.
What I like about it (major appliance repair) is the freedom of the job. It is not tied to any one building, and you can move about throughout your day, he said. You do not have anyone looking over your shoulder, and you can go out and do your thing. I also like all the interesting people I get to meet.
KCKCC-TEC is currently enrolling students in the Major Appliance Technology program for the autumn semester. The goal is to prepare students for entry-level positions on major in-home appliances as well as commercial restaurant equipment repair. Students receive instruction on appliances ranging from refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers to washing machines, dryers, microwaves and kitchen ventilation. Among the courses in the program are Principles of Combustion, Electrical and Mechanical Safety, Top and Front Load Washers- Domestic/Commercial, Fundamentals of Refrigeration and Commercial Walk-in/Reach-in Freezers/Coolers. There are also some evening classes in Major Appliance Repair available at KCKCC-TEC.
What I enjoy about teaching the most is helping students obtain a skill that makes them marketable and gives them value, Carmack said. They get respect in the workplace from their employer, and it gives them self-esteem.
Carmack said graduates of KCKCC-TECs program can move onto positions in a variety of places, from domestic and commercial appliance repair to industrial laundry work such as in a hotel or hospital. He said some graduates even go into appliance sales.
One graduate always comes to mind, Michael Florence. He came (to KCKCC-TEC) as a high school student. He got good grades, finished senior year and came back in the fall (going on to get a full certificate), he said. He then went to work for At-Your-Service Appliance Repair and rode around with them for about three months. At 20-years-old, he was a full-time employee and remained living with his parents. On his 21st birthday, he closed on an $85,000 home in Leavenworth, Kansas. He still works for that same company and is in one of the top positions.
Carmack said demand is growing for the type of training students receive in the Major Appliance Technology program and that translates into good job prospects for graduates. Starting salary for technicians in this field begins at $40,000 and up. According to Richard Piper, Director of Technical Programs, within the last six weeks, KCKCC-TEC was contacted by five employers searching for major appliance technicians.
There are not enough employees to fill the demand. All of the appliances in all the houses in all the neighborhoods - there is an enormous amount of work to be done, Carmack said. It is the same way all over America. Anyone who finishes this program can get a job within two weeks.

JACKSON, MI As many as 2,500 unionized employees at Consumers Energycould get more hands-on training for their jobs as part of a five-year agreement between the union and utility.
Consumers Energy and the Utility Workers Union of America have opened a new training center in Potterville that will help build and sharpen employees' skills in meter reading, gas service appliance repair and other natural gas- and electric-related service fields.
The 10,000-sqaure-foot center, which features seven classrooms and related labs, is part of an agreement that that Consumers and the UWUA made last yearto enable the union to take a leadership role in expanding training for the employees it represents.
"The union really has promoted this concept that they want to take a larger responsibility as far as preparing the people they represent to do these jobs," said Consumers Energy spokesman Brian Wheeler. "They have a very close relationship with our workforce, and it is a collaborative relationship."
The UWUA Power for America Training Trust Fund leased an existing office building in Potterville, southwest of Lansing, and is moving its home office from Southfield to the new location.
"We want to set the standard of excellence for training utility workers to do their work to the best of their abilities," Pat Dillon, president of the Michigan State Utility Workers Council, said in a statement. "We're confident we can transform the way we prepare employees, providing a better outcome for them and the Consumers Energy customers they serve throughout Michigan."
Company officials have said the training being provided by the union is a "game-changer" and is a new approach that positions the company as a leader in the energy industry.
"The first principle of all the work that gets done is safety," Wheeler said. "That's the pillar of our culture. We're confident that they (the union) are providing first-class training and preparation to the employees that go through the center."

Melbourne to get 100-level apartment tower
A 100-level apartment tower is set to be built in Melbourne, giving the city the tallest building to the roofline in the southern hemisphere.
The tower, Australia 108, is one of three new skyscrapers to get state government approval for central Melbourne.
At a height of 319m above the ground, it will surpass Melbourne's Eureka tower by 22 metres.
"It'll be a large addition to Melbourne's skyline," Planning Minister Matthew Guy told reporters on Thursday.
He said it would also surpass the Q1 Gold Coast tower, whose spire reaches 323 metres.
"The top of Q1 is about 275m, so it is by far and away the tallest building to the roofline anywhere in Australia."
Another 75-storey apartment tower has been approved at 452 Elizabeth Street, along with a 54-storey building at 90 Queensbridge Street, Southbank.
Mr Guy says the new skyscrapers, involving investment of more than $830 million, will house 4000 people and generate 5800 construction jobs.

The downtown Los Angeles building boom is spreading outward.
Construction has begun on a 648-unit apartment complex just west of the financial district, in yet another example of downtown's resurgence expanding beyond the neighborhood's traditional boundaries.
When finished, two large apartment buildings will rise along 6th Street between Lucas Avenue and Bixel Street, with retail stores on the ground floor. The developer, Holland Partner Group, also is renovating an adjacent 1920s medical office building into apartments. Altogether, the project is expected to cost more than $200 million.
"We couldn't be more excited about what is happening in downtown Los Angeles," said Thomas D. Warren, who oversees Holland's Southern California operations.
The Vancouver, Wash., firm is looking to attract workers yearning for a slightly quieter home than those in downtown but who still want to live "very close to all the action," Warren said. The apartment complex across from Good Samaritan Hospital is less than a mile from downtown, across the 110 Freeway.
Projected rents range from $1,500 for a small studio to $3,750 for larger three-bedroom units, Warren said.
Seeking to capitalize on the real estate recovery, developers are looking for sites close to job centers and entertainment, while also factoring in price, said Richard Green, director of USC's Lusk Center for Real Estate.
"The land is a little less expensive as you get away from downtown," he said. "You can offer rents that are a little lower and justify the construction costs."
So more development is coming just outside downtown's traditional borders. A $1-billion residential, hotel and retail complex is planned along Broadway just south of the 10 Freeway near a Blue Line rail stop.
And more is slated beyond downtown's western boundaries. A developer plans a $60-million apartment and retail complex at Wilshire Boulevard and Valencia Street, several blocks west of Holland's project.
