HANCEVILLE, ALA. – Wallace State Community College’s Diesel by Distance program is
hosting multiple Open Houses during select July and August dates at the Diesel Technology
building.
The first Open House is Thursday, July 1 from 3-7 p.m., including program graduate

Repair in his hometown.
Other Open House dates are July 8, July 29, Aug. 5, Aug. 12 and Aug. 19, each from

“These events are for anyone looking for a new and exciting career, from dual enrollment
students to those interested in a career change. Interested individuals will have
the opportunity to meet Jeremy Smith, our Diesel by Distance instructor, speak to
alumni, test the virtual reality components and discover the different careers one
can pursue in this field,” said Anna Parrish Beard, Wallace State’s Diesel by Distance
Project Coordinator.
Wallace State’s Diesel by Distance program was launched during the Fall 2020 semester.
It gives students the flexibility to learn the program’s course objectives and theory
online in addition to watching live lab sessions. Instruction occurs in an online
format, complemented by virtual reality labs and periodic competency demonstrations
on campus scheduled at the student’s convenience, such as on weekends or evenings.
While enrolled in the Diesel by Distance program, students must be employed and engaged
in work-based learning through an industry recognized or registered apprenticeship
program in partnership with a participating company.
