Midland CollegeCurrent Midland College (MC) Diesel Technology student Jessy Hills is the first person in the country to enter the Sunbelt Rentals Specialty Technician Apprentice/Co-Op program.
With more than 1,200 locations in the United States, Sunbelt provides expertise and reliable equipment for the energy industry, including generators, cooling trailers, light towers and more.
Hills is currently completing his first year in the MC Diesel Technology program.
“Jessy is detail-oriented, and she quickly learned the principles and systems used in the industry,” Erick Gutierrez, MC Diesel Technology program chair, said. “He also excels in hands-on applications of a wide variety of industry-standard machines and equipment. I have no doubt that he will do well during his apprenticeship at Sunbelt and beyond.
“Sunbelt has called him the ‘poster child’ for their national co-op program. When they posted a picture of him on Linked-In with some members of Sunbelt’s Permian Basin team, the post received more than 1,000 comments welcoming him.
