Ditch Witch, Perry, Okla., has developed a two-year college-level program with curriculum to match the servicing needs of the company's product line.

Developed in conjunction with Oklahoma State University, Okmulgee, the courses are designed to train students in the latest developments of engine repair, hydraulic and electrical systems, microprocessor applications, test procedures and diagnostic tools.

Other classes offer math, composition and technical writing, psychology, U.S. history and government, and business and ethics.

"Successful completion guarantees students a job at a Ditch Witch dealership with dealer benefits," said Dave Hubble, parts and service development manager.
