The automotive program is for somebody
who loves working with their hands and
computers and they don't want a job that
can be outsourced it's very secure once
you have the skills you'll always have a
job we attract a very diverse group of
students we have a lot of students that
are fresh out of high school we have a
lot of students that are working
technicians they're in the field right
now quite a few of our students are
bilingual what really excites the
students is the opportunity to take what
they've learned in the classroom and
apply it in the lab we've got a
well-equipped lab and the hands-on is
always their favorite part and we cover
really everything about the car
everything from tire suspension
alignments transmissions brakes engine
performance
electrical systems seats everything
there are options for as many as seven
different certificates and we offer an
associate's degree that does transfer to
four-year institutions we designed the
program so you could finish the program
with virtually all day or all night
classes or a combination and the advantage
to the college of Lake County is it's
much less expensive because it's a
publicly funded school if I could
describe the program in one statement
I'd say better than you expected there's
always new things to learn there's new
types of cars hybrids electric cars and
as a technician you're always learning
if you love to learn this is a great occupation
