Our cooperative work experience course encourages students to work in the local industry while earning college credits and a pay check. Preparing a student for the workforce includes combining excellent automotive skills with superior work ethics. Job opportunities in the field include dealer apprenticeship programs, independent automotive repair shops, parts supply stores, and other industry related activities-all of which can lead to a lifelong career in the field.

National statistics show that the automotive industry remains a strong career option and that there is an increasing demand for better entry-level ability. Changes over the past decade dictate that students must know more about electronics, computerized management systems, fuel injection, and front-wheel drive/all-wheel drive systems. Today's successful automotive technicians are very highly skilled and educated individuals.

Pop the hood on any late-model car today and it's easy to see that today's automotive systems have become increasingly complex. To become a successful automotive technician, you need to not only learn about cars but also receive comprehensive training on electronics, computers, specialized tools and software programs. It's the only way to stay on top of the industry's continuing technological advances.

Understanding technology is vital. But just as important to your success is maintaining a professional image and gaining the vital people skills that are so prized by employers. Most successful people start with their dreams, set goals, and then commit to their future. Obtaining an AAS degree is a step towards that goal.
