OUR MISSION

Our success is measured by the transformative impact we have on the lives of our candidates and the positive contributions they make to the organizations they join.

OUR STORY

Born as American Diesel Training Centers in 2017 by Co-Founders Tim Spurlock and Chris Ellis, ADTC initially carved a niche in diesel technician training.

Embracing a Broader Vision: The Transformation from American Diesel Training Centers

Our journey from this focused beginning in diesel to a diverse, industry-spanning institution reflects our adaptability and vision. Today, while we cherish our roots in diesel, we have grown to encompass a multitude of sectors, offering tailored training and recruitment solutions in a variety of skilled trades.

Tailoring Solutions: Versatile Training Across the Nation

Our facilities in Ohio stand as a testament to our roots and continued commitment to quality training. Beyond these facilities, we've extended our capabilities nationwide, embedding our training programs within company partners. This flexibility allows us to offer immediate, on-site training and oversight, adapting to the specific needs and environments of our clients, ensuring that each cohort receives targeted, effective training.

Consultative Approach: Crafting Customized Industry Solutions

At ADTC, our approach is consultative and holistic. We collaborate with companies to understand their unique challenges, enabling us to tailor our recruitment and training solutions. This ensures we're not just providing technicians, but are equipping businesses with personnel who can immediately contribute and drive positive change.

Nationwide Presence, Local Impact

At ADTC, our mission to solve the skilled labor shortage is powered by a strategy that combines local talent sourcing with a national presence. This dual approach allows us to make a substantial impact across the country, training over 5,000 graduates now employed by more than 500 companies. Our story is not just about expansion; it's about making a real difference.

Addressing the Workforce Misconception

There's a common misconception today that "nobody wants to work," but at ADTC, we see a different picture. Millions of underemployed Americans are eager to work; they simply lack the fundamental skills and opportunities. The traditional post-secondary education system, with its lengthy and costly structure, often creates barriers rather than bridges for talent. We believe in breaking down these barriers, offering shorter, focused training that equips individuals with the skills they need. This approach opens doors for a new wave of talent, ready and able to make substantial contributions to various industries.

  • We embrace change and innovation, staying at the forefront of evolving technical industries. We continuously adapt our training programs to meet the evolving needs and emerging technologies of the field.
