To provide realistic job training and fundamental skills practice, the Heavy Equipment Operating programs will utilize the Center for Innovation’s numerous simulators. Our simulator lab including a forklift with immersive virtual reality simulations and instructions, and CAT machines that offer simulated learning certificates for hydraulic excavator, dozer, backhoe, loader, and grader. Combined with our training, industry partnerships will aid participants in moving from entry-level learners to certified operators.
The CAT simulator comes complete with a built-in curriculum that walks users through the operating procedures. This simulation training includes multiple machine applications built with Cat expert operators to teach the same techniques as found on real-world worksites.
