Montgomery Gas is owned by Scott and Laura Montgomery and has been serving the Niagara Region since 1987. They are extremely well regarded in the industry due to their commitment to customer service as well as their dedication to ensuring that their team is always learning and improving. The youngest Montgomery, Noah, aged 6, hopes to follow the same path as some of our graduates from Co-op placement to the Skilled Trades Academy and then to someday run the family business. I...n a three part series we will hear about the experiences of Montgomery Gas and two graduates who have joined their team. Here is what Scott and Laura had to say about their experience with the Skilled Trades Academy. At Montgomery Gas we have had the opportunity to support many co-op students. During their placements, all of our co-op students have exhibited an eagerness to learn the HVAC field and a desire to continue in it once the co-op program is complete. We have found that investing in the co-op students gives us the flexibility to train these students and have them grow up with our company. We find pouring into the younger generation has more advantages than re-training someone that has been in the trade for years. The Skilled Trades Academy has helped us achieve this goal and equips our students with the skills they need to begin a successful career with Montgomery Gas.
