Shasta College is excited to announce a new Worksite Learning Program-- FIRST SEAT (Forest Industry Real-World Skills Training/Sustaining Employment & Applying Technology). This program provides training to students in Shasta College’s Heavy Equipment Operation Program on specialized logging equipment and exposes them to career opportunities in the logging industry. FIRST SEAT is the successful result of the close partnership developed between the College and industry partners including Sierra Pacific Industries, Del Logging, Inc., Creekside Logging, Pape Machinery, Sierra Cascade Logging Conference, Peterson Timber, and two industry associations-- the Loggers Association of Northern CA and Associated California Loggers.
On May 17th at 11:15 am representatives from Sierra Pacific Industries presented the college with a check for $20,000 towards the FIRST SEAT program in front of a brand new, state-of-the-art John Deere 848-L Grapple Skidder that will be utilized by Shasta College’s Heavy Equipment Operation Program.
Shasta College is offering the FIRST SEAT program beginning in Fall 2019. The new Worksite Learning Program combines heavy equipment training with additional coursework in forest operations and natural resources. This new certificate will work in concert with recently awarded grant funding that will provide additional staffing and forestry-related heavy equipment. Young adults who possess the desire to work outdoors and embody a strong work ethic, combined with the skillsets taught through Shasta College’s program will find rich and rewarding employment in the forest products industry.
For additional information about the FIRST SEAT program call Shasta College’s BAITS division at (530) 242-7560.
