NAHETS is a voluntary association made up of member schools who have formed an organization to accomplish a purpose. Mainly NAHETS is a group of member schools committed to helping individuals start or advance their career in the heavy equipment industry. We assist our member schools in providing their students with a relevant education that will help them succeed in the work force.
In addition to monitoring and approving our member schools, we also promote the heavy equipment industry to the world.
