✨ From TRAINING Site to JOB Site✨
Jordan B. joined SWS with a goal of becoming a heavy equipment operator. Through hands-on training, dedicated instructors, and a commitment to learning, he built the skills needed to step confidently into the industry.
After graduation, Jordan secured a position with Sigfusson Northern and is now gaining valuable field experience in Snow Lake.
Stories like Jordan’s remind us why we do what we do—helping people build careers they never thought possible.
Success isn’t measured by what happens in the classroom—it’s measured by what happens after graduation.
"Hello my name is Jordan B. and I am a graduate from SWS, I have had the wonderful opportunity to be trained by them, the instructors I worked with were very good and made the training very easy to catch on to, the staff were also nice and helpful with any inquiries I had, overall the training was very enjoyable and I learned a lot in the 5 weeks I was there. Shortly after completing my training I had been hired to work with Sigfusson Northern, my first job with them was working on a front end wheel loader moving material on the job site, my current work with Sigfusson is now in Snow Lake. My experience with them has been great and was made much more easier to work efficiently as a new operator thanks to the training I’ve been given from SWS thank you!"
Congratulations, Jordan, and thank you for sharing your success story!
