Open House to Showcase New Partnership and Provide Prospective Students

WHAT: Chemeketa Community College is holding an open house event to mark the launch of their new Kubota Tech and National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) partnership. The new NC3 & Kubota Tech partnership provides students with a pathway to earn industry-recognized certifications focused on the repair and service of Kubota equipment, giving them the knowledge and skills for employment as a diesel technician in the off-road diesel industry. NC3, Kubota and college faculty will be on hand to share information about the partnership, answer questions and provide tours of the facility.
“Kubota Tech training supports our commitment to preparing students for careers in the off-road diesel sector," stated Kevin Ruby, Diesel Technology Program Chair at Chemeketa Community College. "This partnership not only aligns with the industry's expansion but also presents an exciting avenue for hands-on training, empowering our students with the skills needed to excel in this high demand field.”
“Through the NC3 & Kubota Tech program, students have the opportunity to learn an in-demand technical trade, receive hands-on training, earn industry-recognized certifications and develop highly marketable skills that will help set themselves apart in an increasingly competitive workforce,” said Jeff Wagley, manager of educational partnerships for Kubota Tractor Corporation.
