LARAMIE, Wyo., March 28, 2022 — WyoTech shared that Ashton Settlemire, a 2021 graduate from WyoTech, secured a position as a diesel technician with C&B Operations, the Midwest’s premier John Deere dealership. The job offer extended to Settlemire reflects a growing trend of trade school students, who are trained in real-world settings during their education, landing coveted positions.
There are 99,574 people employed in the trade and technical schools industry in the U.S. as of 2022, and the business in the trade and technical schools industry in the U.S. now employs more workers than it did five years ago.
Having been interested in dirt bikes at a young age, Settlemire grew familiar with the fixing and repair processes that came with his hobby. Over time, he realized his desire to turn his hobby into a career. WyoTech presented the perfect transitional opportunity that allowed Settlemire to transform his knowledge into a professional endeavor.
