Industry partnerships provide graduate students with career options in construction equipment, material handling equipment, heavy earth moving equipment, and many more applications. Job shadowing and paid internships can be offered following the first year of completed studies, allowing students to apply their new skills acquired and developed while in the classroom. If you are mechanically inclined, self motivated, and would like to work on real big equipment, come join our team. All course work is based on live product training from experienced instructors.
