In this episode of the On Track Podcast, President & CEO Eric Ritchie is joined by Assistant Equipment Manager Brandon Mace and Instructors Mike Boyd and Lowell Gardner of Eastern Maine Community College in the Flywheel Studio for a conversation about the heavy equipment program that's been feeding skilled technicians into the industry for decades. The group digs into what makes the two-year program tick, from its AED accreditation and hands-on shop time to the industry advisory board that helps shape the curriculum based on what employers actually need. Mike and Lowell share what separates a good mechanic from a great one, while Brandon talks about the long-standing partnership between Sargent and EMCC, including the recent donation of a 2020 Cat 320 excavator and the interns who've graduated into full-time roles.
