The GM Raytheon Training Center located at Dakota County Technical College is the largest satellite training center in GM Raytheon’s North Central Training Region. Mike Opp, DCTC dean of transportation and technical careers, reports that the training center served 957 GM dealership technicians from northern Iowa, western Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. The techs are seeking advanced training to augment their skill sets.
“We are the largest remote location in the region,” Opp said, “even larger than the Chicago training center.”
