"Through our partnership with Vermeer Southwest and their HDD Training programs, we have seen employee retention increase every year. Some people ask, 'What happens if we train our employees and they leave?' We ask, 'What happens if they don't get proper training and the employee stays?"

“The benefits our team got out of the class were exceptional. The safety & maintenance aspects of what we learned and our company being consistent in what we do will lead to our overall efficiency and that will make us more profitable.”

"This was a really good experience for my guys and has helped our crew expand their knowledge and get to the next level. This is a very informative course even for the most experienced drill operators. They learned more about the technical side and the importance of what they need to do to get the job done correctly."
