LINCOLN, Ala. – Central Alabama Community College (CACC) has reported the successful completion of its first Skid Steer Operator Training, a collaborative effort with Dovetail Landing, Skills for Success, and Alabama Veteran.
This inaugural session, designed specifically for veterans, has made great strides towards providing valuable skills and opportunities for those who have served our country.
Held at Dovetail Landing, the training equipped veterans with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to become proficient skid steer operators.
“We are very proud of our partnership with Dovetail Landing,” said CACC President Jeff Lynn. “Their commitment to supporting veterans aligns perfectly with our mission to provide high-quality education and training opportunities.
The program featured comprehensive training on understanding skid steer machinery, mastering operational maneuvers, adhering to safety procedures, and maintaining industry standards.
Michael Barnette, CACC’s Dean of Workforce and Economic Development, noted the importance of this collaboration, saying, “Our partnership with Skills for Success and Dovetail Landing is crucial in providing veterans with the training they need to succeed in today’s job market.”
Alana Centili, Secretary of the Dovetail Landing Board of Directors, emphasized the mission to support veterans’ transition to civilian life by stating, “Together, we are creating a supportive environment where veterans can gain valuable training and build a brighter future.”
Retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert Holmes, the Executive Director of Dovetail Landing, added, “The resolve of our veterans is unparalleled, and providing them with these opportunities is a small way to give back for their service. We look forward to more successful training sessions and continued support for our veterans.”
CACC will continue this partnership and offer more training opportunities for veterans in the future. For more information, visit www.cacc.edu.
