How It All Began…

The owner (Dave Gow) was frustrated trying to hire good heavy equipment operators for his Construction company. As a construction company owner Dave believed that he would be able to start a school that would produce operators of the calibre that he and others in the industry were looking for. His goal/dream is to produce graduates who are job ready, can operate safely and find work doing what they have always wanted to do.
