>> The program at Cypress
College is designed to take
students or anyone who's
interested in a career
in Automotive Technology
and get them to a point
where they can get a job in
either a dealership environment
or in the after market.
>> We actually have
a really nice facility.
We just completed a remodel
we're very--have a very good
inventory of everything from
Scan tools, laptop computers,
professional level tools
and enclosed shop
also some outdoor work areas
and welded cleat machine shop
and a complete transmission lab.
So, we're very fortunate
here to have a very nice,
well-equipped facility.

>> We've been partnered up
with Toyota's T-TEN program
for the last 15 or so years.
We're the only Toyota T-TEN 
program in Orange County
and because we're partnered with
T-TEN, even before they graduate
usually within their second or
third semester we have them
placed and already working in an
internship or entry-level position.
So, they start to earn money on
the job before they even graduate.
>> I'm Chad Pasnick and I'm a
technician at Lexus of Westminster.
So far I've taken two of the
T-TEN classes they're directly
partnered with Toyota and their
job placement program is better
than just about anywhere else.
But they've helped me with every single,
every single thing I could possibly
ask for and here I am working 
for Lexus right now.

>> And everything that I know now
is because of Cypress College
and the instructors and this is
the end of my second semester
and I've had some interest 
expressed in me
from a Lexus dealer recently, as well.
I feel like I'm moving forward in
a new career and I'm actually--
doors are opening for me 
because of Cypress College.
