Council – Sara Karbo
Industrial Maintenance
Southwest Minnesota
Southwest MN Private Industry Council
•
With nearly 70% of Minnesota’s ethanol production facilities located in the Southwest region, the
primary goal of this project is to train Minnesotans to fill entry-level maintenance positions in the
biofuels industry. The following partners have indicated a continual need for individuals with the
fundamental skills to effectively fill industrial maintenance positions within the biofuels industry:
Granite Falls Ethanol (Granite Falls), POET Biorefining (Bingham Lake), and ADM (Marshall).
• Goal:
goal of the Industrial Maintenance certification program is to create a pathway for low-wage, lowskilled adults who are either unemployed or under-employed to enhance basic academic abilities and
obtain high-demand job skills in the renewable energy industries.
By integrating basic English, math and computer skills (SW ABE) with vocational skill training ( MN
WEST), participants will gain skills leading to living wage jobs and a viable

Project Background
• Daikin McQuay’s leadership in innovative energy efficient
HVAC products and systems has resulted in substantial
growth in market share.
• To sell, design and install these energy efficient HVAC
products, Daikin McQuay as well as our reps must hire
and train energy, sales and applications engineers, versed
in the most current industry trends, technologies and
standards.
• New graduate engineers take 3-4 years to be fully
productive
• Goal is to reduce development time by 1-2 years by providing a
comprehensive training program for new college graduates
Project Definition - Graduate Engineer Training (GET) Program
• 15 week extended term training program for recent college graduates that

Currently recruiting engineering graduates at University of
Minnesota and University of St. Thomas
○ Anticipate 15 -20 participants
○
Opportunities and Challenges
• Smaller then expected attendance in February (first)
class due to:
Lack of engineers graduating in December
○ Slow economy limiting positions available within McQuay
