Brady Mentorship Program: Celebrating A Major Milestone

Brady proudly marked a major milestone in its commitment to technician development and workforce excellence: the graduation of the first-ever cohort of the Brady Mentorship Program (BMP). 

Launched in 2022, the Brady Mentorship Program was created to fast-track the growth of early-career service technicians. This structured two-year development track combines hands-on experience, mentorship from seasoned technicians, in-person workshops, and guided coursework. As a result, technicians finish well-prepared for long-term success in the HVAC industry. 

After two years of dedication, learning, and growth, the first BMP cohort officially graduated on May 22, 2025. This outstanding group of five technicians– from across the Raleigh, Fayetteville, and Greenville teams– are now recognized as Level 2 Technicians. They’re ready to take the next step in their careers. 

Congratulations to Our Graduates

This blend of structured learning and hands-on experience reflects Brady’s investment in its people and in the future of the HVAC industry. Because of this structured approach, graduates are well-prepared for the field.

Meanwhile, Cohort Five will begin their mentorship journey this June, bringing fresh talent into the pipeline and reinforcing Brady’s commitment to growth from within.
