Description
Our goal is to provide skills and knowledge to an individual that is seeking a career as a heavy equipment operator. Whether you have no experience or are already an operator and looking to improve ability, HEOA is a path to help you reach your potential.
In addition to equipment operation, you will receive training on site preparation, excavation, digging techniques used in the field, dirt classifications, how to read blueprints, and safety regulations. Graduates from our heavy equipment academy are eligible for a variety of jobs in many industries such as oil, gas, railroad, waste disposal and recycling, and construction. Having a skilled trade makes your time at work more valuable. Skill trades are as important today as they have ever been, and there is a great demand for works in such fields.
Our objective is to produce heavy equipment operators that have the knowledge and skills to better, not only themselves, but their individual communities as well.
