Students in the Diesel & Ag Power program at Lake Land College now have the option to earn up to eight Kubota Tech Certifications via Kubota equipment and principles seamlessly woven into the existing Diesel & Ag Power courses.
To celebrate this partnership, Lake Land College will be hosting a Kubota Tech Open House on Tuesday, October 4 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. in West Building, room 123. Those interested in attending can either sign up at lakelandcollege.edu/visit or contact Division Chair Agriculture/Agriculture Instructor Ryan Orrick at 217-234-5208 or sorrick@lakelandcollege.edu.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be able to offer this partnership to our students,” Orrick said. “This is an excellent way to broaden our students’ skillsets and provide a direct pathway to certification and career opportunities.”
As participants in the program, students will train on a range of diesel and ag power equipment brands, including Kubota, to develop the skills and techniques they will need to provide multifaceted employment opportunities to employers such as Kubota.
After students have completed the courses, they can earn stackable certifications through the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) testing, leading to up to eight Kubota Tech credentials.
NC3 is a value-driven organization and the future model for Career and Technical Education, creating highly-skilled, job-ready professionals through a growing network of educational partners and global industry leaders.
Through Kubota, technicians will have the opportunity to work with sponsoring dealerships and participate in internship programs. Technicians working at a Kubota dealership are provided guidance from experienced Kubota Technicians learning how to repair equipment correctly and efficiently.
Graduates of the program will also have the opportunity for careers as Kubota Technicians in dealerships around the country. The program provides job placement, excellent earning potential, great benefits and the opportunity to work as a Kubota Technician.
Graduates will be using their newly acquired knowledge and skills to provide Kubota dealers and Kubota customers value. The Kubota Tech program empowers Technicians to be the best in the industry.
