Volvo Construction Equipment holds educational program
On Wednesday, April 6, approximately 25 students from the automotive program at Broughton High School and the Diesel Tech program at Wilkes Community College visited Volvo Construction Equipment provider ASC Construction Equipment USA LLC in Raleigh, North Carolina, to learn more about how they could be a solution to what has become a near-crisis skills gap in North America.
The event is part of an ongoing partnership between Volvo Construction Equipment North America, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, Volvo dealerships, SkillsUSA, Leesburg, Virginia, and Skills Canada, Ottawa, Ontario—organizations dedicated to improving the quality of North America’s skilled workforce—to bring attention to the skills gap issue in the construction industry.
