Career Change Options
I work in the IT recruiting field, but we have a sister company that works in more of the automotive / warehousing / blue collar arena. If you’re considering a career change or maybe you just graduated high school and are interested in those type of fields then this post is for you.
Personally, I know jack squat about using heavy equipment. It’s one of those things that you see Mike Rowe do on his show Dirty Jobs. (Which, by the way, is one of the best shows ever.)
There’s a website — ATS Heavy Equipment Training Services Network. They help you find a heavy equipment training school in your area. The neatest part of their website is their heavy equipment school blog. That’s a very unique proposition if you ask me. What other technical school offers something like this? ITT Technical Instititute doesn’t as far as I know.
The blog is very unique and offers lots of different perspectives. Past students talk about their experiences, and periodically the blog explains the differences in the different types of equipment.
If I were in for that type of career change, I would definitely take a look at this website again. What do you think?
