It's you working on whatever it is on
that vehicle that has to be repaired
whether it breaks or chassis or even
computer work. So we look for people that
are very you know hands-on driven
Looking at the workforce, one of the highest
things in demand is auto technicians. we
need to drive so you'll never be
without a job. We're teaching
all the the essentials on
building circuits and understanding
circuit, so that when they get out in the
real world that they'll be able to
diagnose a lot of the complex problems
that their faced by a lot of these cars today
The lab we have been updating to get
into the technology that cars and
vehicles are using today, so that
students will be prepared when they go
work in the field. A lot of our labs are
setup very similar to what they'll
find when they go to work in either a
dealership or an automotive repair shop
were an NATEF accredited college which
means ASE, the automotive service
excellence. We follow a lot of their
curriculum.They actually certified a lot
of the technicians that are working in
the field. Those students when they get
an Associates Degree here, where it would
normally take two years of working in
the field to gain the credentials for
the ASE patch actually knocks a year of
that off, so they only actually have to
work one year in the field to earn
those ASC credentials. All the teachers here
very knowledgeable. They want you to learn
it, they want you to know that you have
it, before you actually continue on and
go out into the workforce. We have a
co-op program which is required for them
to get their Associates Degree, that
co-op program requires them to work in
the field they actually have to get a
job you know working in the industry and
we find in most cases that when they
graduate from here those employers
usually offer them a full-time job so our
placement rate is very high
We build the foundation that so when
they do get that job out the field, that
they're able to excel a lot faster
with those skills and in their profession
