Jessica Bannister is a 3rd generation HVAC contractor. Her dad
apprenticed under his dad in the 1970’s and her brother followed in
his footsteps right after high school.
But the trades were never considered as an option for her and so
she went the traditional route of college and took an office job.
In 2017, she joined Cam Cool as an admin but by March of 2018 she
had registered as an apprentice and the journey began.
Jessica is passionate about bringing more awareness to women in the
trades, specifically women in HVAC-R. From speaking at and
representing at industry events to her ongoing and engaging social
media presence, she advocates tirelessly, encouraging young people
(girls especially) to consider the HVAC trade as a real career
option.
In this episode we talk about the importance of going for it, the
impact of sharing your journey, and just how smart you have to be
to be in HVAC.
