West Fargo students to train on heavy equipment

North Dakota’s Building Trades Unions and industry partners are helping give high school students a hands-on introduction to careers in the skilled trades through a new heavy equipment training “sandbox” in West Fargo.

The training site was developed through a partnership between the Cass County Career & Technical Education Center (C3TEC), the Career Innovation Center at NDSCS, International Union of Operating Engineers Local 49, and North Dakota’s Building Trades Unions.
