This curriculum is designed to provide employable skills essential to logging equipment operations and maintenance in a natural environment and emphasizes the "learning-by-doing" method of instruction on modern up-to-date equipment.
Anticipated completion of 15 students in Year 1, and target 20 students annually after Year 2.
Program Goals and Objectives are to prepare students for an entry-level position in the logging industry as a logging equipment operator.
This program stacks on the Heavy Equipment Operator program, so that by taking one additional semester, a student can receive a second certificate in Logging.
