We’re excited to recognize Chris Brooks and Rick Moras, who recently completed Manitowoc’s Quick Start training program—an 18-month intensive designed to equip entry-level techs with the skills to work safely and efficiently on crane systems.
As part of their training, both attended the GMK CCS class, one of the key courses covering Grove’s domestic and GMK product lines. Brooks wrapped up the program by earning Top Performer honors in his final class with an impressive score of 98.8%. Rick also excelled, finishing with a strong 96.4%.
Congrats to both on their hard work and outstanding achievement!
