So I may be getting into the Caterpillar Think Big program this fall if everything falls into place. I've gotten the application process in the pipeline and have done all my tests and such, just waiting to do the interview and see if I am selected for one of 8 spots. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, has anybody been through it? Everything I've learned about it seems to be a pretty sweet program...it's a two year program...you go to school roughly half the year and work for the Cat dealership half the year. When you are working at the Cat dealership you get paid (and every semester brings a pay raise). Once you graduate you are employed by the Cat dealer and if you work for them for three years they reimburse your tuition. The dealerships and Cat donate machines to the school for the students to work on. The Cat dealer supplies you with basic tools (box, 1/4 to 1/2 drive sockets, ratchets, and wrenches, Fluke 87 multimeter, and I assume stuff like screwdrivers and torx/hex bits and such...the dealership guy said it is about $4500 worth of good quality tools) for a $100 paycheck deduction.
