Automotive Training & Career Opportunities

If you are a … Student

Do you want exciting, satisfying and rewarding work in one of the fastest growing industries today?

The automotive industry offers unlimited growth opportunities and much higher wages than average – $70,000 to $100,000 annually or more for well trained, fully certified technicians with current experience. Technicians with just two years of training and certification can start at $40,000!

The automotive industry is one of the largest industry clusters, comprised of manufacturers, dealerships, maintenance and repair services, and equipment and parts suppliers.

Automotive Service Technicians are particularly in demand due to a shortage of highly skilled workers trained to understand, diagnose and maintain today's increasingly complex, electronically controlled vehicles.
