Elmore County Technical Center diesel program building tomorrow’s techs

Cliff Williams / The Herald Braxton Roberson, left, a junior at Elmore County High School and Holtville High School sophomore Weston White take a look at how to replace a fuel shut off for a skid steer in the Elmore County Technical Center Diesel technology program.

The diesel technology program at Elmore County Technical Center just started this school year.

Even in its infancy the program is attracting employers and students. William Nicholson walked on campus as the rookie instructor but years of experience as a diesel technician. Nicholson said the needs are far beyond just technicians to work on medium class trucks found in store parking lots and pulling campers.
