NBR: Recruiting a diesel mechanic in the area

Not baby related of course, but I could use some help!

I am a recruiter and working on a new account. I am recruiting for a mechanic in the local area outside of New Orleans. Not a typical mechanic that you take your car to for repairs. This one would be a fulltime employee of a large corporation and work on diesel and mechanical, hydraulic, diesel, pneumatic and electrical equipment, tools, and vehicles.

Any suggestions in the area of where to search. Are there local trade schools nearby?

Thanks!!!!
