Ponsse honored with 2016 Nicolet College Foundation Friends and Partners Award
Over the years company activities have included serving on Nicolet academic advisory committees, partnering for the annual Career Expo and Heavy Metal tours for students, participating in service learning projects and career fairs, providing student scholarships, and hiring Nicolet graduates, the college said in a press release.
Most recently Ponsse worked with the college and other employers to develop the new, two-credit Heavy Equipment Operator training program. Classes started this spring to give individuals the entry-level skills for careers in the forestry, construction, highway maintenance, and manufacturing fields.
"It's apparent that Ponsse recognizes the value of education and skills training and devotes considerable resources to career development for individuals in the Northwoods," the foundation's executive director Heather Schallock said in a press release. "The company is very deserving of the Friends and Partners Award and it's an honor to have the company work so closely with the college."
