Plenty of hands-on time spent operating the equipment ensures an effective environment for learning.

Benefits of participating in the program include:

Students receive college credit toward an A.A.S. degree in Applied Construction Technology Providing a better trained and technically competent work force, thus reducing accidents, repairs, maintenance costs and extending equipment life Assuring that operators completing a particular certification program have the specific skills that the organization needs Exposing operators to a variety of equipment models that may influence future equipment purchases

Increasing operator efficiency and effectiveness on the job, leading to higher customer satisfaction Simplifying job promotions by identifying operators qualified to operate various pieces of equipment, providing third party verification of equipment and operating skills and linking certification to performance and pay Reducing accidents and downtime by training operators in the proper safety procedures when operating various pieces of equipment Increasing the pool of qualified and certified applicants for job openings

This CCA partnership allows members of CCA to receive training in the following areas:
