Cummins And Vincennes University Celebrate Graduates Of Game-Changing Technician Apprentice Program

0
Through a powerful collaboration, Columbus, Indiana-based Cummins and Vincennes University are leading the way in building an essential 21st century model for workforce development.
Graduates of the Cummins Technician Apprentice Program (TAP) at VU were recently recognized with special Commencement honoring the Class of 2021.
According to President of Service Operations of Cummins Sales & Service North America Zach Gillen, “Vincennes University and Cummins both have long histories of trailblazing, and the partnership we have on technician apprentices has set a new standard of excellence with nearly 100 percent retention over the four-year program. We thank the leadership at Vincennes for believing in Cummins, and we are excited to work together to grow the program in 2022 and beyond.”
In 2017, Cummins and VU joined forces to launch TAP, an important corporate strategy to ensure a highly-skilled workforce for the future.
“The Cummins and Vincennes University partnership will benefit students with technical skills and an associate degree for Diesel or Power Generation necessary to be more successful in an increasingly complex workplace and provide Cummins with a source of qualified and capable Technician talent. A strong workforce benefits the industry and strengthens our communities,” said David Taylor, Cummins Technician Hiring Pathways Leader, North America.
As VU students, Cummins apprentices from throughout the nation build a strong foundation in the latest diesel technology while earning an associate degree.
According to VU President Dr. Chuck Johnson, “Vincennes University is proud to work with Cummins, a great Indiana company, to close the skills gap. Through the partnership, Cummins employees obtain a college degree which, along with the great work experience from the apprenticeship, leads to good-paying jobs and tremendous career opportunities. The Technician Apprentice Program (TAP) is a vital and unique program that not only benefits Cummins but the state of Indiana as well as communities and economies throughout the United States.”
TAP apprentices shared their personal experiences and inspiring stories during a graduation ceremony at the VU Diesel Technology Center.
Austin Williams, a newly graduated apprentice from Evansville, Indiana, describes the program as an “insane opportunity.” He has high praise for TAP for numerous reasons, including the ability to provide for his family in ways he never thought he could.
“It has put me a lot further ahead than I ever expected,” he said. “I’ve been able to go to school and maintain a full-time career. I’ve graduated. I always wanted to go to college, but I was always uncertain of it because the high cost of tuition always put me off.”
Apprentices in the U.S. Department of Labor-registered program are full-time Cummins employees. The company pays all program expenses and provides a complete set of diesel technician tools. The program features instructional hours in diesel and heavy equipment training in addition to face-to-face and online courses.
David Haslup of Baltimore, Maryland, who admits to not having much direction in his previous job, earned one of two Valedictorian awards presented during the Commencement program. He says the program is life-changing without a doubt. He is incredibly proud of everything he has accomplished. He appreciates the opportunities the program has afforded him.
“I didn’t think programs like this existed,” Haslup said. “The program is impeccable. The education you’re receiving is equally impeccable. Our instructors, Mr. (Larry) Stremming and Mr. (Larry) Bland, are excellent teachers. I cannot emphasize that enough. Vincennes University is a very nice university. They have excellent services.”
The desire to earn a college degree is a fairly new dream for apprentice Russell Brungard of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He could hardly contain his excitement when he reflected on the TAP program and his college experience at VU.
“A couple of years ago, I had no desire to further my education,” Brungard said. “All I wanted to do was go to work. Now having the opportunity to go through the program and get a degree, it is something that can’t be taken from me. A degree is forever. I’ll also have a much better source of income and I’ve been provided with the ability to provide a better life for myself and my family. If it wasn’t for this program, I would not be in the great position that I am.”

Gov. Holcomb Announces New Executive Director For The White Rive State Park Development Commission

0

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Eric J. Holcomb today announced that Jake Oakman is the new executive director for the White River State Park Development Commission.

“Jake has long been devoted to making Indiana a better place to work, live, play, study and stay,” said Gov. Holcomb. “He will take his passion and commitment to make Indiana a global destination and build upon the current successes of one of our states Crown Jewels, the White River State Park.”

Jake Oakman most recently has served as the director of strategic communications for the Indiana Republican State Committee. Before his role with the committee, Oakman worked for the Office of Governor Holcomb as his special assistant, serving as the governor’s primary speechwriter and advisor on communication strategies. Before that, Oakman worked at the Indiana Office of Tourism Development as the director of communications and media relations. While in that role, Oakman helped develop and launch the state’s first multi-state tourism branding campaign in nearly a decade, leading to record numbers of visitors and tourism spending. Oakman’s first job in Indianapolis was at White River State Park working as a ticket sales executive for the Indianapolis Indians at Victory Field.

“White River State Park is one of Central Indiana’s premier destinations,” Oakman said. “I’m excited to work with Governor Holcomb, the commission, the team at WRSP, Live Nation, and other stakeholders to attract more visitors to the events and world-class attractions within the park. With the new TCU Amphitheater and park expansion plans, this is the perfect time to develop creative ways to enhance the White River State Park visitor experience. I’m looking forward to leading those efforts.”

Oakman earned an undergraduate degree from Indiana University and serves as a member of the Indiana Arts Commission.

In 1979, the Indiana General Assembly created the White River State Park Development Commission as a quasi-governmental agency. The commission oversees the White River State Park’s world-class attractions and destinations located in downtown Indianapolis. The 250-acre park is home to the TCU Amphitheater, the Indiana State Museum, the IMAX Theater at the Indiana State Museum, the Indianapolis Zoo, the Eiteljorg Museum, Victory Field, and the NCAA Hall of Champions.

City Engineer’s Office Offers New Way To Report Streetlight Outages

0

The City of Evansville Engineer’s Office is offering a new way to report streetlight outages.

Residents can report outages to the streetlights.out@evansville.in.gov email address. Please include the location of the outage in the email.

The City Engineer’s Office partners with CenterPoint Energy in processing outage reports.

Here are some additional streetlight resources: (Source: United Neighborhoods of Evansville)

Trees or Shrubs Blocking a Light

Trees or shrubs that may block a light from illuminating a street are the responsibility of CenterPoint Energy to trim. If a tree in your neighborhood needs to be trimmed, use the CenterPoint Energy contact information provided below. However, if a tree needs to be removed, the City’s Arboristmust be consulted before any action is taken. If in doubt about trimming or removal, call the Arborist.

CONTACT:                             City Arborist
CALL:                                       812-436-5752

Requesting New/Additional Streetlights in Your Area

Requests for additional street lights must go through the City of Evansville’s Engineering Office, who then will work with CenterPoint Energy to determine where lights will be added.

  • Indiana State Code requires that the City provide lighting only at the intersections. The City does not have a separate budget for streetlights, but the contract with CenterPoint Energy allows for a limited number of lights to be installed each year.
  • The City maintains a request list, with highest priority given to those at the intersections and then to lights requested for other areas. Lighting in alleyways has the lowest priority and is rarely installed.
  • An alternative when a lighting request has low priority is to install a dusk-to-dawn light (see below). To ask that an additional light be put on the request list:

CONTACT:                             City Engineer’s Office
PHONE:                                  812-436-4971

How To Add a Dusk-to-Dawn Light in an Alleyway or on Your Property

Dusk-to-Dawn lights turn on as the sun sets or at dusk and turn off when the sun rises or at dawn. CenterPoint Energy adds the cost of running these lights to a resident’s electric bill. Arrangements can also be made through CenterPoint Energy for multiple residents jointly pay for the light.

CONTACT:                             CenterPoint Energy
CALL:                                       1-800 227-1376 or 812-791-5190
