Hands-on, real-world training is of utmost importance in the operation of heavy equipment in accordance with industry standards as it equips aspiring professionals with the practical skills and experience necessary to excel in their careers. Classroom knowledge alone cannot fully prepare individuals for the complexities and challenges they may encounter on construction sites. By engaging in hands-on training, students gain a deep understanding of the tools, techniques, and safety protocols involved in various construction tasks. One exemplary initiative that highlights the significance of such training is the collaboration between Stavola and the Ocean County Vocational Technical School (OCVTS). Through industry development partnerships, Stavola generously continues to provide OCVTS students with the invaluable opportunity to learn and operate real heavy equipment machinery. This partnership not only exposed students to the latest technologies and industry standards but also allowed them to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. By bridging the gap between academia and the construction industry, these initiatives foster a skilled workforce and ensure that future professionals are well-prepared to tackle the demands of the construction field.

The Heavy Equipment Operator Program (HEOP) is a program designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required for the operation of heavy equipment in accordance with industry standards. The students will be able to recognize the technical competencies in the major classifications of heavy equipment. Students will be engaged in industry relevant, hands-on instruction that is aligned with the National Center for Construction Education Research (NCCER) Heavy Equipment Operations curriculum. Skills will be further developed through the use of state of the art in-class simulators and authentic learning opportunities in which students will operate actual machinery. Throughout the program students will be provided the opportunity to learn in the field through job shadowing experiences and qualified candidates may continue on to participate in cooperative education experiences with local employers.

Ocean County Vocational Technical School provides an intensive and immersive educational experience aligned with the current and emerging demands of business, industry, and advanced education. We instill the knowledge, skills, and competencies required for students to experience success in entering the workforce, advancing along a career pathway, and achieving career aspirations.
