A while back we mentioned a free school for generator technicians, put on by Generac Power Systems. As you may recall, the company is looking to fill positions in its own dealer networks, and with a paucity of interested folk, the company rolled out the red carpet to people with a mechanical aptitude, a handle on basic math, and an enjoyment of working with their hands.
The company not only provides free tuition, also rooming and some feeding. The hitches? You'll have to provide your own transportation to and from Wisconsin, be 18 years old with a high school diploma (or GED), and pay $200 up-front for books and materials. This latter will be refunded to all who successfully graduate from the course. The early classes of GEN-U were in and out in four weeks; the company now tells us they've refined the course work: You'll graduate in three weeks with knowledge of sizing, installation, troubleshooting, and repair.
Interested? Send an e-mail to genu@generac.com and ask for more information.
