Show your students this video about how they can help build Ohio!
Operating engineer apprentices get paid to learn as they work, so without going into debt, and with no college degree needed, your students can quickly start building their careers after they graduate from high school.
Led by some of the top operating engineers in the state, they’ll learn in class and in the field how to operate or repair everything from cranes to dozers, to skid steers and other loaders at one of four training locations.
Please show your high school students this video about how they can become operators or maintenance technician apprentices, and the careers they can begin with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 18.
