LeCory Tech named for ARBA heavy-equipment simulator

LeCory Tech included

LeCory Tech is among the schools selected to receive a heavy-equipment simulator from ARBA. The equipment will give the school access to a simulated heavy-equipment training tool.

The announcement places LeCory Tech among multiple schools receiving simulators. The school’s inclusion connects the Chilton County-area campus to an effort involving heavy-equipment education and training.

What the simulator means

A simulator allows users to practice operating heavy equipment in a controlled setting. The announcement identifies the equipment as a heavy-equipment simulator, but does not describe the specific machines or training programs that will be used with it.

The simulator’s role at LeCory Tech will depend on how the school incorporates it into instruction. The announcement does not identify a delivery date, operating schedule or list of courses connected to the equipment.

Next steps

LeCory Tech and ARBA will have to establish when the simulator arrives and how students or other users will access it. Those details will determine how the equipment becomes part of the school’s educational offerings.

The development gives LeCory Tech a new piece of training equipment while placing the school among the institutions receiving support through ARBA’s initiative.
