As we all know as the worlds population grows the demand for heavy machine workers are increasing by the numbers. I'm a fresh out of High School graduate looking to increase my knowledge in the construction industry as an heavy machine operator, In my case the excavator would be a preferable because I grew up around one and have used them before. My father was a heavy machine operator and I want to follow in his steps but sadly he's no longer with us so I can't take on his knowledge and use it to my advantage but I learned from what he's taught me before hand. I've worked on a CAT strictly but can drive deere controls tooAre there any schools in Hawaii that offer this type of hands on training? I'd like to increase my chances of getting into the industry.
With the skills that you already have, you may be able to enter at a higher level than the apprentices just entering the union without any skills. See if you can talk to the apprentice coordinator, but I can almost guarantee you'll start as an apprentice.
