Enrollment across the Minnesota State College and Universities system has declined by 28% since 2013, with many students dropping out of higher education for chance at a career in trades such as construction.
WCCO News aired a report featuring former college students now working for Lindus Construction, a residential contractor in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market. The employees started college, then later hired on with Lindus, eventually going into full-time employment.
"I look at our younger people, out of high school and we try to mold them into becoming craftsmen," Andy Lindus told WCCO.

Our mission is to help managers of heavy equipment and trucks to improve their performance in acquiring and managing their fleets. One way we do that is with our Executive Institute, where experts share information and ideas that will enable equipment managers to accurately manage equipment costs so that they can deliver the optimum financial benefits to their organizations.
We also have a laser focus on product development, performance, and technology; as well as equipment acquisition, disposal, and maintenance. Our exclusive Field Tests take earthmoving equipment and truck into the field for professional evaluations.
