AGCO broke ground on a new facility at Parkland College in Champaign, Ill., to mark the beginning of construction for an AGCO training center.
The company donated $5 million toward the construction of a 20,000-square-foot facility on the Parkland campus that will train students to become service technicians for AGCO farm equipment, according to a recent article in IPM News.
The center will provide a new home for Parkland’s existing technician training program and will also offer a 2-year associate degree to train new AGCO technicians when it opens in the Fall of 2024. With the company expecting to need 2,000 new technicians over the next 5 years, local AGCO dealerships will sponsor students through the program, which is one of a kind for the company.
