Well, it certainly is a new year, filled with new and exciting things. RSI has been abuzz with the anticipation of changing over to a bright new shiny database. This is where all of the information about our students and graduates is kept so that we can help them have the best educational and employment seeking experience possible. 

I can hear your thoughts now, “so what’s that got to do with me going school?”. Plenty! RSI has spent over 43 years providing quality education training and producing thousands of certified HVAC/R technicians. The service we give our students has always been the main goal. This begins when someone makes an initial contact for information and never really ends for our graduates. We have taken it on as a lifetime commitment. Graduates from 20 or 30 years back have been known to call us frequently, many of them to hire new graduates to fill positions in their own companies. 

When RSI makes steps to upgrade our technology, it is with the students, graduates, and employers in mind. Recently RSI Owner and President Liz Cline exclaimed, “this new system is top of the line and will take on a lot of the manual work we are doing, so that we can spend more time helping our students.” That attitude permeates from the top down. Every department has the students and graduates as their primary concern. 

I often wonder how many colleges and universities can say that? We have a saying around here that goes, “we succeed when our graduates succeed”. That might sound a little cliché, but if you think about it, it makes sense. In order for our reputation to be what it is, we have to produce graduates that know what they are doing in the industry. They need to have enough knowledge that the employers are confident they can take as little time as possible training them so they can put them out on their own. If we didn’t do that, our graduates wouldn’t get hired. We also have a very high referral rate which is also evidence of our quality service. Even our motto is “RSI Trains You for Success”! 

Everything we do is with the student in mind, from new technology to faculty training. The staff and faculty work hard to make sure the students and graduates have the best resources to be a success in the career they have chosen.
