Building Skills. Creating Opportunities. Preparing Students for the Workforce.
A huge thank you to Wolter Forklift for their continued support of the Osseo-Fairchild Technical Education Center!
Wolter has provided our instructors with outstanding Train-the-Trainer qualifications, helping us bring industry-recognized safety and equipment training into our classrooms. Even more exciting, our students have the opportunity to experience operating a forklift in a virtual workplace environment.
This type of hands-on, technology-driven learning allows students to develop real-world skills in a safe and engaging environment while gaining a better understanding of what to expect in today's manufacturing and industrial workplaces.
Industry partners like Wolter Forklift are an essential part of what we are building at Osseo-Fairchild. Their support helps connect classroom learning to real-world careers, giving our students valuable skills and experiences that can lead to high-demand, high-paying careers after graduation.
We truly appreciate Wolter's investment in our students, our instructors, and the future workforce.
Partnerships like this make a difference!
