BROOKFIELD, Wis., Dec. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Wolter Power Systems, a division of Wolter Group LLC, has donated two generators to Gateway Technical College for students to train and help diversify skills to better succeed in their career.
The equipment includes a 20kW Generac industrial diesel generator, fully functioning and equipped with enclosure and self-contained fuel tank, and an 18kW commercial generator. These cutting-edge power systems used in industry today will provide a great opportunity for students to become skilled and proficient as future technicians of this equipment.
Students in Gateway's Motorcycle, Marine and Outdoor Power Products as well as the Diesel Equipment Technology programs will train on the generators. "They will gain essential skills in working with equipment from an industry leader," says Joe Fullington, Dean, Gateway School of Business and Transportation.
"There is a known shortage of trained technicians in the industry," says Fullington. "The hands-on training students will experience on these standby generators will help them realize the diversity of careers they can pursue. There is an entire marketplace for generator service and repair they may not have the chance to otherwise learn about. It expands career opportunities and their ability to enter the workforce."
Wolter Power Systems is also providing technicians and trainers to assist with classroom activities and learning workshops, along with product and theory training materials to be used in the classroom.
"Wolter Power Systems believes in educating the workforce of tomorrow and helping to bridge the skills gap through providing industry insight and resources to colleges today," said Dan Peters, General Manager of Wolter Power Systems.
"The generators will help Gateway to train students in a number of their programs so they can become familiar with the skills needed to become proficient technicians," said Peters. "Wolter Power Systems and our four other associated brands under Wolter Group LLC have common collaboration and interest in keeping our young Wisconsin workforce engaged in industry and the skilled trades."
Gateway Technical College collaborates with communities in Kenosha, Racine and Walworth counties to ensure economic growth and viability by providing education, training, leadership and technological resources to meet the changing needs of students, employers and communities.
