ADDISON, Ill., Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Unlimited Service Group, a group of local foodservice equipment service providers, today announced the expansion of Training Unlimited with the opening of its newest classroom in Sacramento, CA.

Training Unlimited is an eight-week training program that combines hands-on training with industry-leading expertise to prepare technicians for a career in the commercial foodservice equipment installation, repair, and maintenance industry. The program addresses the real-world complexities of electric, gas, steam, and refrigeration/HVAC systems and is available in Columbia, SC, Bloomington, MN, San Antonio, TX, and now, Sacramento, CA.

“By investing in the training and development of our technicians, we are investing in the future of the commercial foodservice industry,” said Kristen Nowak, President of Field Service for Unlimited Service Group. “We know that service technicians are the backbone of our industry, and like many in the trades, we’ve faced challenges in hiring. That’s why we’ve launched Training Unlimited to give those with little to no experience, but a strong willingness to learn, an opportunity to get into a great industry with a strong career path. This program will teach the skills needed for technicians to be safe as they learn to support our customers and manufacturer partners across our more than 35 local service companies. We are not just filling positions, we’re welcoming technicians into our industry, into our work family, and setting a benchmark for quality in the field.”

Unlike other training programs, Training Unlimited is guided by its core values: safety, integrity, community, passion, courage, and innovation.
