Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College held an open house event on Thursday, April 6 to celebrate the launch of its new Kubota Tech and National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC3) partnership. The event, held at the West Harrison County Center in Long Beach, showcased the new partnership and provided prospective students, local Kubota dealers and the community with an opportunity to meet MGCCC staff and tour the structures.

The partnership marks the first of its kind in Mississippi and makes the MGCCC program one of only 10 official Kubota Tech programs in the nation.

This Kubota Tech training is a wonderful option for our students who want to prepare for in-demand careers in the off-road diesel industry, said Dr. Mary S. Graham, MGCCC president. As this industry continues to grow, we are excited about the possibilities our partnership offers and the training opportunities it provides.

The new NC3 and Kubota Tech partnership offers students a path to industry-recognized certification focused on the repair and service of Kubota equipment, equipping them with the knowledge and skills for employment as a diesel technician in the off-road diesel industry. NC3, Kubota, and college faculty were at the open house to share information about the partnership, answer questions, and provide tours of the facility.

Through the NC3 program and Kubota Tech, students have the opportunity to learn an in-demand technical trade, receive hands-on training, earn industry-recognized certifications, and develop highly marketable skills that will help them distinguish themselves in an increasingly competitive workforce. said Jeff Wagley, manager of educational partnerships for Kubota Tractor Corporation.

Programs that will be impacted by the training include Heavy Equipment Maintenance Technology (HEMT) and Maritime Multi-Craft (MMT) technology, both offered at West Harrison.
