Congratulations to the new NC3 Leadership School, Kiamichi Technology Center – Hugo Campus on its open house to mark the launch of their new Kubota Tech and NC3 partnership.

The Kubota Tech partnership provides students with a pathway to earn industry-recognized certifications focused on the repair and service of Kubota equipment and gives them the knowledge and skills for employment as a diesel technician in the Kubota dealer network.

“Through the NC3 and Kubota Tech partnership, students have the opportunity to learn an in-demand technical trade, earn industry-recognized certifications and develop highly marketable skills that will help set themselves apart in an increasingly competitive workforce,” said Jeff Wagley, manager of educational partnerships for Kubota Tractor Corporation.

At the open house, earlier this fall, Hugo High School freshmen attended the event, toured the new equipment in the Diesel Technology program, and connected with local Kubota dealers/employers and Kiamichi faculty to learn more about the program and career opportunities.

“NC3 is proud to support the launch of the Kubota Tech Program at Kiamichi Technology Center – Hugo Campus. As a new Leadership School in the NC3 membership network, we look forward to bringing industry-recognized certifications to the students, and community, of Hugo to build a strong workforce for tomorrow,” said Roger Tadajewski, executive director of NC3.
