A lot of agencies are out there working with folks to help them find the training that will give them employability. The problem is, those agencies usually have very specific rules they must follow in the process, and one of the specifics usually needed is a training school with the right certifications and accreditation.

Agencies

That isn’t the only thing needed for the paperwork –so ATS gets lots of contact with agencies and agency counseling services who need labor market information:

• Heavy equipment Wages and earning potential
• The employment outlook for specific industries
• Job descriptions and other occupational details
• Heavy equipment operator working conditions

Agency counselors ask questions about our history, training program descriptions, employment assistance details, Eligible Training Provider status and anything else that needs to go in the forms they use. It’s part of the paperwork and we do it all the time.
