The event, organized by NDSCS, gave Twin Cities metro high school students information about careers in diesel technology.

RMS representatives were on site to answer questions about the industry, career opportunities, and the Komatsu Diesel Technology Program offered through the North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS). This fast-paced program combines state-of-the-art, on-campus training with 24 weeks of paid internships at a sponsoring Komatsu dealership.
