A unique training experience
Every year since 2004, the entire class of NAIT's Turfgrass Equipment Technician (TET) program has taken a one-week field trip to OakCreek Golf and Turf's huge Calgary facility. But this field trip is no sightseeing excursion—it's hard work. The students arrive on a Sunday with their instructors and tools, then put in five days assembling equipment, which arrives in crates from Toro's manufacturing plant in Wisconsin. The students can rub shoulders with visiting golf course superintendents, who are invited because they want to scope out possible employees among the TET students. There is a huge demand for trained technicians. Everyone wins in this partnership.
