Switching careers mid-life is not always an easy task. There are costs involved, and those costs can be daunting when you are stepping into the unknown. There are always a few self doubts as well – will you pass the training, will you find a job, and if so how long will it all take? ATS Heavy Equipment Training Schools acknowledge the problems that people face when changing careers, so we try to make a heavy equipment career transitions as smooth as possible. The following is a good guide to follow for any career change.

Research your actual career choice. If heavy equipment operations is your choice, look for operators you can talk to. Whatever you do, don’t just talk to one – you are only getting a single view of your career choice. Talk to several, preferably from different companies.

Research your training school. Training is the most important component to a new career. There are several issues to look at when it comes to training schools, the most important being the school’s credibility amongst employers. Longevity is always a good sign of a successful heavy equipment training school. You can visit our training website to see reviews left by former students. After 50 years in training, we know what employers want and deliver.

Organize your finances. You will need to organize how you intend funding your training, your training time (you still have to eat and pay bills), and the period immediately after training. We offer several funding opportunities that cover your actual training costs. We are also approved to deliver training to those who are eligible for government-funded training programs (this includes current and former military).

Commence training. Once you have decided on a career, a training school, and organized your finances, it’s time to start training. One word of advice – take as much in as possible, and get in as much practice as the school allows. Training should also include safety, and ideally your training should include soft skills designed to help you look for and obtain employment. We have a dedicated career services department that works with students to find their first job. Work with our career services team and you’ll find that job fairly quickly.

Start work. This is where your hard work and frustrations bear fruit. That first day on the job will be a blur, however, it is for everyone. Use that job to build your experience, and to gain a good reputation.

One of the mysteries of heavy equipment is the name given to a backhoe. After all, the ‘backhoe’ is just one half of the equipment, the other half being a standard loader. More interesting is the fact that the ‘backhoe’ sits at the rear of the equipment, and it’s the loader end that does most of the actual ‘driving’ around.

Putting the name issue aside, becoming a backhoe operator is a popular option for many because of the multiple skills involved, and the diversity that comes with a job. Effectively, you are trained as an excavator operator and loader operator. In fact, for many backhoe operators, those two pieces of heavy equipment are their fall back jobs should they find it difficult to find backhoe jobs.

In today’s climate, that is not a frequent problem. Many backhoe operators go to the next level becoming owner operators. Because of a backhoe’s versatility, there is always plenty of work available for owner operators, and the heavy equipment itself can be picked up at a reasonable price – certainly at a price that makes being an owner operator attractive.

To become a backhoe operator, you will need to complete a heavy equipment operator’s training program. This is a training program that exposes students to a range of heavy equipment, backhoes, loaders, and excavators included. A good heavy equipment training program will also include non-operational components such as soil knowledge, maintenance and fault finding, safety and site layouts. Those extra knowledge based areas are what makes for a well rounded heavy equipment operator.

At ATS Heavy Equipment Training Schools, our aim is to produce heavy equipment operator graduates who are ready to start work from day one. Our operators have the knowledge and skills to succeed, and employers acknowledge this by coming to us on a regular basis looking for good recruits. If you’re looking for a job with diversity, then operating a backhoe certainly delivers.

Whilst there is a shortage of heavy equipment operators across the nation, that doesn’t mean you can just do a bit of training and expect to walk into a job. Employers are still fussy; after all, their operators are in control of heavy equipment that is priced in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Not only that, but heavy equipment operators are often working on projects that are valued in the millions if not tens of millions of dollars. Employers simply cannot take a risk on an unknown operator.

So how does a novice get a foot in the door. Employers want experienced and reliable heavy equipment operators, however, if they are not prepared to hire new graduates. How are those graduates going to build that experience? It’s an age old question that affects almost every industry around the world. Sometimes it helps to have someone on your side who can open a few doors. Someone an employer trusts to deliver hard working and reliable employees.

ATS Heavy Equipment Training Schools has been in business for around fifty years. Over that time we have developed good relationships with a wide group of employers. They trust our training and know that when we graduate a new recruit to the industry, that person will be ready to start in the workplace in an entry level position. Our success depends on our graduates gaining employment – if they didn’t find employment, our name would soon turn to mud. To help graduates succeed, we have over the years developed a strong career services department.

When you start your heavy equipment training with us, our career services personnel start working with you, helping you build a resume and learn how to approach employers, and how to handle yourself during interviews. We also try to match you up to suitable employers in your area. Looking for a career change? Training is half the battle, and we don’t believe in doing things by halves – we like to see our students trained and successfully in the workplace as soon as possible – that’s the best way to kickstart a new career.
