There are quite a few class-A CDL truck driver openings this week. That’s not hard to understand because this is the time of the year when somebody who can drive a dump truck with a spreader or a snow plow is in high demand. It takes heavy equipment operators and Class-A CDL truck drivers to keep the roads clear in winter weather.

There are a couple of crane operator openings, too. This highly specialized skilled trade is one that often comes up as a need in many kinds of industries. The best way to be prepared for careers in heavy equipment, no matter what kind of machinery we are talking about, is by getting the professional training and certification needed in your field.

One of the biggest advantages of ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School is the fact that the Employment Assistance doesn’t stop when you graduate. There’s help finding a job in your field as long as you need it. Here’s this week’s list:

OMAHA, NE — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Another advantage that ATS offers is the job site, a perfect place to explore and see what the skilled trades industries hold for your future.

Every single one of these jobs is something you could do with the appropriate training from ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School. Our graduates have lifetime access to the Employment Assistance department and placement website so there’s always an opportunity to find the job that you need.

That combination of high-quality training and ongoing career services makes ATS the best place to get started in the skilled trades industries.

If you are looking into being a heavy equipment operator, it means you have seen the potential for making a living in this skilled trade. But that potential is really reduced if the training program you choose just throws information at you, hands you a piece of paper saying you graduated, and disappears into oblivion.

ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School does just the opposite with our students and graduates. In fact, there are two life-long resources for ATS grads if they need them: Employment Assistance and the placement website, Total Resources Network.

Employment Assistance

From the time you enter ATS for class, there’s employment assistance available. Every student is interviewed and given personal career counseling, including soft skills training for interviews and resumes, etc. By the time a student graduates, a customized packet of potential job information has been compiled and will be given to that grad.

This packet is made up of job leads that are in the industries and geographic locations the graduate is interested in and if more help is needed they can always contact us for more leads. Always. This is a lifetime, nationwide service for ATS students and graduates. We keep a database of constantly updated employer information for job leads and are always ready to help.

Total Resources Network

The placement website, Total Resources Network, isn’t just a list of possible openings. This is a site for professionals in the skilled trades industries to connect and develop their networks. Along with that database of job leads, there are ways for ATS grads to post their resumes and applications and find matches for their unique credentials and interests.

Employers can access the site and look at those postings to contact the people they are interested in hiring. Personnel, jobs, and training are interconnected and effective. It’s one of the reasons ATS is able to say we provide lifetime employment assistance and support.

This week, there are a lot of jobs on the list and many different types of jobs on that list. Many trucking companies look specifically for graduates of Diesel Truck Truck Driver Training School.

It’s the same way with ATS: Our reputation for professional training gives our grads extra appeal to employers. Contact our Employment Assistance department or the job site at Total Resources Network for more information.

There’s something interesting about this week’s heavy equipment job listings: they all are looking for Class-A CDL truck drivers. Why would a heavy equipment job opening involve having your CDL? It’s simple, a heavy equipment operator who also has the Class-A Commercial Drivers License can do a lot more on the job site and so is a valuable asset.

A lot of heavy equipment can’t be driven over the road because it goes too slowly or the tracks would tear up the asphalt. So the equipment is moved by loading it on a flatbed and a truck takes it down the road. If the operator of the backhoe, for instance, is also able to drive the truck to the next job site, that’s a plus.

There are a lot of advantages to having your CDL if you are a heavy equipment operator. That’s why ATS offers a CDL Truck Driving Program as part of your options when you attend. And as a graduate, you always have access to employment assistance for the latest job listings:

Superior, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Amherst, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Marshfield, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Waunakee, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Oshkosh, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Waukesha, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Hennessey, OK — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

Cuba City, WI — hiring Class-A CDL truck drivers

You’ll find a lot more employment assistance at the job site. It’s one of the best ways to network in the skilled trades industries.

There are two important parts to finding a job at anything, and heavy equipment jobs are no different. These two parts are preparation and connections, and unless you have them it’s probably not going to happen.

Preparation

If you are planning on becoming a professional, the best thing to do is get professional training and the appropriate certifications, right? There’s a good reason for that: if two equally experienced candidates apply for the same job, the one with the legitimacy of an accredited training is probably going to be the one to get that job.

It also helps to have the “soft skills” that get you through the hiring process, like writing a resume, filling out electronic or paper applications, and interview skills. These may not have anything to do with heavy equipment but they have a great deal to do with getting hired. Employment Assistance at ATS works with students on these skills so that they can get through the process and get on the work site.

Find A Job Connection

The second part of finding a job is the connections that are made with other professionals, or what many call “networking”. Graduates of ATS programs are able to make these connections at the job site, a placement website where individuals in the skilled trade industries can network with each other and find employment, companies can find personnel, and training providers can serve their customers.

There’s a huge database that’s constantly being updated with resumes and applications from job seekers, openings from companies, and more. It’s a perfect place to make the connections that lead to professional growth and that next job.

When you have graduated from ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School, you aren’t left to find jobs all by yourself. ATS helps with your job search. We make sure that students get the skills they need for the training program they choose, but also the skills and support they need to stay employed.

Here’s how:

Employment Assistance

From the moment you join ATS as a student, you have access to the best Employment Assistance in the heavy equipment industry. It starts with a personal interview to help figure out your career goals and the areas you are interested in working. All this information is used to create a custom packet for you at graduation that includes possible employers and jobs in the geographic area you want to live in, along with other helpful information about your skills and training to use when you apply.

The application process is also part of our career services training. Most heavy equipment operators would cheerfully admit they aren’t so great at the office-y part of the employment search, like resume writing and interviews. We help you get ready for that by teaching the “soft skills” you need to get through the hiring process and on the job site operating big machinery.

The Job Search Website

There’s more help available to our graduates in the form of The Job Site, Total Resources Network. This is a great way to keep in touch with what’s happening in your specialty, connect with employers or potential employers, post your resume and look for jobs. You can filter the database for location or other criteria and it’s pretty much one of the best tools you have in your job search.

As a graduate of ATS you can access this database at any time. If circumstances require you to change locations, you can find a new job in the new town. It’s one of the proofs we have to assure you that you won’t be left alone to find employment by yourself because we are committed to keeping our students and graduates successful.

July was a big month for construction as firms added 22,000 new jobs, dropping the sector’s unemployment to 7.5 percent. That means the folks who invested in high-quality accredited training at ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School are ready to take any job the Employment Assistance Department finds for them in the areas that student said they were interested in. Custom employment assistance is one of the benefits that ATS graduates have — and it lasts for a lifetime.

Here’s this week’s partial list of jobs:

Eau Claire, WI — hiring heavy equipment operators

Wyocena, WI — hiring heavy equipment operators

Madison, MS — hiring crane operators

There’s a big variety again, from Class-A CDL truck drivers and NCCCO certified crane operators to heavy equipment operators. Each one will be a little bit different because of the location and nature of the job, too. That’s part of the appeal of this industry; it keeps changing.

To stay on top of those changes, most ATS graduates appreciate being part of the Total Resources Network because it helps them stay in touch with their professional peers.

This week’s job listings cover some different areas of the country: the heights of the Rocky Mountains and the wide prairies of Oklahoma, and more. One of the great things about being a well-trained heavy equipment operator from a certified school like ATS is the lifetime nationwide employment assistance that gives you the foundation for working in many different locations. It’s an adventure!

You will find that we have knowledge of employment opportunities because of our reputation for training excellent professionals. Take advantage of the ATS advantage and find a job today.

Some “employment assistance” places don’t really help you all that much. You could have access to a list of job openings but not given help writing a resume, for instance. One place held a resume-writing workshop where the instructor told the students that resumes really don’t matter because networking is how people get jobs! That workshop ended with a lot of students scratching their heads in bewilderment since they were there to learn how to write a resume. (And honestly, your resume is just as important as networking. It isn’t one or the other.)

What ATS Employment Assistance Offers

• Personal Career Counseling starts the first week of training, with an entrance interview where your Assistance Coordinator finds out what industries and locations you are interested in. Your individual goals become the base for the job packet you receive when you graduate; a list of employers, information about your training and skills, and other helpful stuff. Our Employment Assistance Department is open five days a week and we follow graduates up to make sure your career is where you want it to be — and if it isn’t, you can ask for help.
• Soft Skills are the things like writing resumes, interview techniques, networking methods, application procedures, and all the other factors that can keep a good heavy equipment operator looking for a job if they aren’t there. Your instructors are people who have worked in the industry in many positions and know what it takes to get that job.
• Job Leads at ATS are pulled from our Job Leads Database, one of the best sources of heavy equipment positions in the nation. For twenty years, this database has been constantly updated to maintain a comprehensive storehouse of information that students and graduates can search by state, city, or zip code whenever they need to find a new job.
• Total Resources Network is the ATS employment assistance website and this is truly a total resource. You can post your information and be found by employers looking for someone with your skills, or look for openings by location & job description. You can apply for jobs on the site, post resumes, network, and more. And, there’s no time limit on how long you can use it. If you need to find a new job ten years from now, you can get on the site as a graduate of ATS.

If you are a graduate of ATS Heavy Equipment Operator Training School, the answer to “how much employment assistance do you want?” is up to you.
