Automotive students are prepared to meet the challenge of servicing, diagnosing, and repairing automobiles that are becoming more and more complex. Air pollution control devices, computer controlled engines, and body management systems must be routinely repaired. The automotive student will start with the basic fundamental principles of the automobile and gradually progress through a series of specialized automotive courses that ultimately will bring sincere students to an entry-level skill necessary to begin a career in the automotive industry. Career opportunities are excellent for well-prepared automotive technicians because there is a shortage throughout the United States.
Jobs are available for entry-level and experienced technicians and support personnel.
Specific job title and salary ranges may be obtained by contacting the Technical Studies Office, the Job Placement Center, or the Career Development Center.
