January has come and gone already! Interior Heavy Equipment Operator School
anticipates another busy year with multiple Industry leaders and private organizations
already making contact with us. It is exciting to strategize on how best to work together to
meet the training demand for heavy equipment operators.
Both of our AB & BC Training Sites grew by more than 50% in 2012. We added 17+
new machines to our Fleet to ensure our core belief in students never sharing equipment
was met at all times ! The great thing about being a privately-owned and operated business
since 2005, is our immediate ability to adapt to any given need.
Whether we are working with an individual, or we are working with large
companies, IHE customer service is always paramount to us. Ensuring that we continue to
develop win-win relationships is a continued focus for IHE in 2013.
We are proud to say a large majority of our 1,800+ IHE Grad Alumni are enjoying careers today as heavy
equipment operators! In fact, many stay in touch years after training and there is even now an active group on
Facebook sharing job leads, called the ‘IHE Smooth Operators.’
We will also be hosting once again our Open Houses in May at both training sites, only this year in
conjunction with Career /Hiring Fairs. Stay tuned for more details!
IHE visits Terrace, BC on April 24th to 26th for the annual Minerals North Conference - the largest one in
western Canada. We are a Silver Sponsor of the event and look forward to working with more community
leaders and stakeholders of the North.
I can confidently say that what remains a defining factor in IHE Grads getting hired is their ability to enter
the workforce as trained entry-level machine operators. That is something they are able to achieve by practicing
real world tasks on their own machines, while training at IHE. Our success as an organization always has and
always will rely on the success of the individuals we train, the companies that employ them, and the various
funding organizations that work together to turn dreams into reality.

The 12M uses only 2 Joysticks for operating all of the features on this Grader, even the steer-ing!!! The M series has proven to be a valuable asset to the construction industry all across Canada. With the M series being utilized in the Heavy Equipment industry more and more now, IHE can cross train present Grader Operators into the all new M series.
Introducing the M Series Grader
This 12M Grader M Series joined the IHE Fleet in Oct. 2012!

IHE CongratulatEs KEVIn & DarCY …
As IHE School continues to expand, so does our staff! Please join us all in congratulating Kevin Bur-
ton on his recent promotion to Operations Manager!! Kevin’s dedication and leadership were just a few
items noted in making this decision.
“I am very excited as IHE moves forward into new markets,” said General Manager, Mike Hansen.
“This cannot be achieved without a great team, and I am confident that this promotion will further enhance
this effort.”
Kevin offers 24 years’ experience in civil/road construction, pipeline, open pit mining, and five years work
experience as a consultant for the oil sands, as well as construction projects in Dubai.
He also had the opportunity of travelling to ground zero at the world trade centre after 911 in 2001 as a
rescue/recovery equipment operator.

present and future operators thus becoming an part of IHE. I look forward to continuing my journey here,”

Fri. Sept. 28th - 30th, 2012
School District No. 23 Boot Camp 2012, Central Okanagan
28 students + 28 Equipment Stations + 2 Equipment rotation circuit
HANDS ON FUN experience operating heavy equipment machines
IHE School in partnership with School District #23, played host to a very special weekend for
Okanagan high school students last September. Students curious about a possible career as a
heavy equipment operator had the chance to try out a variety of machines including: Rubber Tire
Backhoe, Dozer, Loader, Grader Excavator, A.R.T. Truck, as well as a Laser Level, Hydraulics &
Welding station, completing real world tasks over the two-day rotation cycle.
“Being a part of inspiring youth to follow their dreams is exciting,” says IHE General Manger,
Mike Hansen. “We were happy to donate the equipment and land. The real thanks goes out to the
hard work of the organizing committee members, and the more than 30 IHE students who volun-
teered on their own personal time to help coordinate every machine operator station! Because of
them, just like at IHE, no student had to share a machine with another. We’re proud of that!”
