Students in the Heavy Equipment Operations Technician program offered at Flagler Technical College and Flagler County’s two high schools will now be able to train with a bulldozer that was delivered last week to the Florida Agricultural Museum, the site of FTC’s off-campus facility.

FTC Director Renee Kirkland, Coordinator Chris McDermott and program instructor Ken Rucker joined the class on March 4 for the delivery, according to a Flagler Schools press release.

Last year, the program acquired a new wheeled skid steer for the students receiving training with various pieces of heavy equipment used in construction.
