What People Say About Us
“I took the Ag Mechanics course at Olds College in because I wanted to find a challenging career where there always seemed to be jobs available. The course was great. I started, knowing nothing about mechanics, and had a job with New Holland before I graduated. I’ve been there for six years now and get to work with high-tech, computerized farm equipment. I am a journeyman mechanic and have a good stable job while staying in my hometown.”
