Waste Management (WM) of Ohio donated a WM truck to the University of Northwestern Ohio's Diesel Program this past Thursday.
The University, which started the first Diesel Program in the state of Ohio in 1973, was very excited to receive the new training aid, valued at over $160,000.00, for the students studying Diesel Technology. "The partnership we have with Waste Management reinforces each of our organization's belief in the value of higher education," said University President, Dr. Jeffrey A. Jarvis. As part of the partnership, Waste Management's Fleet Manager will be working with the students each quarter teaching them how to operate the truck and also the various safety features.
"Waste Management has always believed our success is directly linked to the quality of people on our team. This is an excellent partnership with the University that will allow us to recruit talented candidates who already will have gained valuable experience working with WM vehicles," said Rob Smith, Waste Management of Ohio Vice President. The company has already hired two graduates from the University.
Waste Management is the leading provider of comprehensive waste and environmental services in North America.
