John Deere Construction & Forestry Tech Program

Wake Technical Community College is one of seven community colleges to be instructing students on John Deere construction and forestry equipment. John Deere dealers from North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia will sponsor students. The C & F Tech curriculum follows the same curriculum standards as the HEATT general curriculum except that the material covered will concentrate on the needs of John Deere construction equipment dealers. The program is designed to be a two-year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree.

• Leslie Equipment Co. (home office-Beaver, WV)
