Students Drive Heavy Equipment Simulator

Patriot High School invited students to take the driver’s seat in a state-of-the-art introduction to operating heavy equipment. A simulator, operated by X-Cal, offers students a chance to use heavy equipment in a classroom setting. The simulator, equipped with a steering wheel, levers, and operating pedals creates a virtual experience of operating excavators, dump trucks and forklifts in a safe and controlled environment.

Take a look at why instructors say this kind of exposure can lead to a win-win situation for enthusiastic learners and companies looking for good workers.
