You know I always tell everyone
we've got some great toys, you know.
We built Optimus Prime.
We have all the Nascar haulers.
You know, everyone sees the race car
go around the race track on Sunday
but how did that race car get there?
Beyond that, I always tell everyone,
"Look, everyone goes to Walmart
and they buy their product every day and they
don't realize what it took to get there".
And you have to realize the support that
is needed to get that there and what needs
to happen to keep those trucks on the road.
Some programs are actually developed
in specific to certain types of engines.
Be it Cummins, be it Detroit Diesel or Global.
One of the advantages of this program is
that we've got multiple training aides
from multiple companies and so by getting
the variation and getting the experience
on all the different types and all the
different manufacturers, it gives us a leg up.
Clean Diesel is one of those programs.
Many, many, many locks can be unlocked with
the key of knowledge that you receive here.
There's everything from agriculture, off road
heavy equipment, on road heavy equipment.
You know, tractor trailers to marine diesel.
You can be working on a cruise liner or a ship.
We have people that are service advisors,
we have people that as simple as detailers.
We have technician, journeymen and entry
levels and as far as master level technicians.
We've developed a new program
called The Get Ahead Program.
The program is more hands
on and develops about three
and understanding why you're doing the
repairs instead of just how to do the repairs.
So, pulling from the community college has
been a very have viable resource for us.
As technology and as they hybrids and as
these computer software programs come in,
a lot of the old timers aren't get
recertified or retrained on these things
and they're retiring out of the workforce.
The demand is higher than ever.
Over the next 10 years they're looking at
about a 20 to 30 percent growth in this field.
I already have people trying to
recruit me right out of here.
I'm not even done with my program yet and I
already have a couple of companies really kind
of dogging me down and "Hey, when are
you ready to come out and work for us"?
