A great training staff, the participation of respected contractors, and strong support from the Wisconsin Operating Engineers sets this training program apart from all other! The active members of Wisconsin Operating Engineers allocate money out of their negotiated pay-raise to fund the Training Center and to ensure that state of the art training is made available.
