To meet the new challenges of advancing technology in the workplace, San Joaquin Delta College (SJDC) is partnering with Caterpillar and its dealerships to produce high-performance technicians ready to fill productive roles in both business and society, today, and into the future.

During the first two years of the program, students spend approximately half of each semester at the San Joaquin Delta campus in technical and general education coursework. The remaining time is spent at Johnson Machinery Co. where students put theory into practice during paid internships.

Johnson Machinery Co. Service Technician students can earn an Associate of Science degree and two years of credit towards a four-year state journey-level certificate. In the remaining two years, students work as full-time apprentice technicians at Johnson Machinery Co., receiving additional on-the-job training and experience.

Upon completion of the entire program, students will receive state journey-level certification. This intensive method of study and practice prepares individuals to be the kind of high performance technicians Caterpillar and Johnson Machinery Co. demand. Check out the... Think Big website
