Associated Training Services (ATS) is a network of schools who got their start in 1959 when Robert Klabacka founded his Concrete Construction School in Madison, Wisconsin. Since then, this family-owned and-operated vocational school has been operated by Robert's six sons and grandsons. ATS now offers heavy equipment operator training, truck driver/CDL training, and carpentry training programs at several locations throughout the U.S.
Because of ATS's long-standing tradition of providing high-quality, short-term training programs, we have become one of our nation's most reputable private vocational schools. Current President and thirty-year veteran of the field, John Klabacka coined the motto, "Quality, Integrity and Pride," over twenty years ago. To this day, ATS and its over 100 employees have made every effort to maintain adherence to this philosophy.
The end result of our motto is that ATS delivers training programs, career services, and has allowed us to establish relationships with hundreds of funding agencies throughout the U.S. Currently, ATS is registered as an Eligible Training Provider in twenty-two states; ATS is also licensed as a private vocational school in more than fifteen states and five of ATS's schools currently have Federal Veterans approval.
