Educators Corner

The Operating Engineers Training Center is committed to reaching out to both middle and high school students, as well as community colleges. We do this by working with career counselors, classroom teachers and career events. We host visits to the Training Center for student and educator groups and attend many career fairs throughout the year across Oregon and SW Washington.
