The Gilbert Agricultural Power Mechanics class toured Van Wall Equipment in Story City. Following a presentation at Career Day at Gilbert, students had the opportunity to receive a personal tour and discussion with Van Wall staff. Students were exposed to technical, mechanical, and professional skills needed in the agriculture service and sales industry including ag equipment, lawn equipment, and the support services that go along with each. Van Wall Equipment sponsors entry into the “John Deere TECH” program at the community college in Calmar. This program off ers students the chance to learn while working hands-on with equipment at training centers and dealerships. Sponsorship by dealers in this program provide tuition and placement directly into their dealer network. During the visit, students saw a variety of equipment being serviced, repaired, and assembled by the Van Wall Equipment employees for the spring planting season. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
