This 20-month program is designed to provide the technical training to meet the Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training Examination requirements for Heavy Equipment Technicians, and offers students first-hand theory and technical training focused on Caterpillar’s equipment.
+ x! g: b- {! V5 v: h. |% Z
During the program, students complete five rotations of 16-week terms consisting of both technical training and paid work: they go to school for two months, then work for two months (earning while they are learning), repeating the two-month rotation five times.

Upon successful completion of this program, students will have obtained a Heavy Equipment Technician Diploma from Keyano College, as well as 20 months and 1800 hours of work experience recognized towards their apprenticeship. Additionally, all students who complete the program with an average of 80% or better, and who are hired by Finning and remain with the company for at least two years, receive a toolbox valued at approximately $10,000.

楼主是这个学校的，还是那个公司的？能提供资料关于这个工作主要是干什么的吗？

这个培训计划是Finning 和keyano学校联合办的，地点在Fort Mcmurray。学生边学习边实习，实习期间的工资据说还可以，如果实习期间表现好，并且通过了Keyano考试的要求，Finning一般会优先考虑录用为正式员工。 可惜我没有参加过这个培训计划，具体细节不太清楚。如果想了解具体细节，可以咨询Konnie Williams。有关Finning的情况可以浏览http://www.finning.ca/
这个工作一般是从事重型移动设备（比如Caterpillar的推土机/大型卡车等）的维修，工作环境一般在车间或室外，冬天有点辛苦，另外安全始终是第一位要注意的，不过工资外加加班费，一年下来也很可观。

非常感谢楼主提供这些非常详细的信息。

学习吃苦不怕，就怕千辛万苦的考下来，最后interview那关被淘汰下来，耽误时间和金钱啊。
