IF YOU WANT A CAREER REPARING CARS AND TRUCKs…
OR JUST WANT TO LEARN HOW TO FIX YOUR OWN
VEHICLE.
MCC’S AUTOMOTVE SERVICE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM’S
FOR YOU,
"what a better place to learn, go to a college that is fully equipped
we have all the tools, we have cars
we have hosts, we have everything you need
to learn about cars.”
AND COMING IN YOU REALLY DON’T NEED TO KNOW
HOW CARS WORK…
JUST ASK DESTINY EATON WHAT SHE KNEW ON HER
FIRST DAY.
“Absolutely nothing.
I didn’t know the difference between a brake
pad and an air filter.
BUT NOW SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT CARS THAN MOST
PEOPLE, INCLUDING HER BOYFRIEND.
“Ya, the situation, like every once in awhile, when his ABS light came on and he had to
ask me why his back tires were locking up.
(laughs).
So it’s definitely nice knowing that I have
this knowledge that I can help other people,
not just my boyfiriend, but anybody.”
SHE ALSO ENCOURAGES OTHER WOMEN TO SIGN UP.
“because there’s of lot of women who don’t
know where to check their oil, or that they
have an air filter to prevent carbon from
going into their engine.
I mean I didn’t when I started, I've learned so much and now I can
take care of my own regular maintenance – spark-plugs,
oil, wires all that stuff, I can do it myself.”
INSTRUCTOR JIM MORRIS IS ONE OF THE REGION’S
TOP MECHANICS…
AND SAYS MCC’S PROGRAM IS FOR EVERYONE..
AND FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT SOME BASIC AUTOMOTIVE
KNOWLEDGE IT’LL JUST TAKE JUST 7 MONTHS
TO GET A CERTIFICATE.
“If you really, really enjoy it, then you
can go on to get your advanced cert which
is 12 months long.
You can graduate here in just 12 months with
an advanced certificate and a basic certificate
in automotive service technology.”
TOMMY DOUGHTY ALREADY HAS A JOB AT
AN AUTO SHOP…
“I am what they call a G1, light repair
tech I do oil and lube and minor repairs.”
HE ENROLLED HERE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO LEARN
MORE HIGH TECH SKILLS…
AND graduating and GETTING HIS CERTIFICATES
WILL MEAN MORE MONEY IN HIS POCKET.
“i’ve already got a couple of my ASE
certifications, my boss is approving of those
and even rewarding me by going to school so
when I graduate he’s talking about a higher
payscale, so the paperwork does mean a higher
payscale.”
MORRIS SAYS THE INDUSTRY NEEDS EMPLOYEES WITH
THE SKILLS YOU LEARN HERE.
“I have a lot of dealerships I speak with
continuously, independent shops also.”
AND THEY NEED GOOD EMPLOYEES.
“if you come here and you come to the
classes and you’re on time and you do your work well
and you work well with others.
I have plenty of jobs waiting for you guys.
HE MAKES SURE MCC’S SHOP IS STATE OF THE
ART…
AND TALK ABOUT VALUE…
LEARNING AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE TECHNOLOGY AT
MCC COSTS A FRACTION OF WHAT PRIVATE TRADE
SCHOOLS CHARGE.
“Their programs range from mid 20-thousand
to mid 30-thousand dollars in some of those programs
our program is less than a quarter of the cost.”
AND AT MCC YOU COULD QUALIFY FOR FINANCIAL
AID, SCHOLARSHIPS, GRANTS, OR TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THE PAYMENT PLAN.
"I’M GRATEFUL THAT I actually qualified
for the pell grant and it actually paid for
all of my education and what I got back in
what they call a refund actually paid for
my gas to travel to class, so it wasn’t
any real financial hardship.”
EQUIPMENT, TRAINING, LOW COST, PLENTY OF JOB
OPPORTUNITIES.
MCC’S AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM
IS ONLY MISSING...
YOU.
