Richards, Shepard students visit Webb Chevy

Despite their busy schedules, general manager Tim Gehr and several other supervisors from Webb Chevrolet in Oak Lawn found time this week to show automotive technology students from Richards and Shepard high schools the career possibilities waiting for them.

For the second year in a row, District 218 teachers Keith Luszcak and Matt Krogh brought a group of students to tour Webb facilities, talk with various professionals, and meet trainer Christopher May from the renowned Triton College General Motors Automotive Service Education Program.

The GM ASEP allows students to earn an associate’s degree and work. Many then transfer to Southern Illinois University to earn a bachelor's degree in automotive technology and then start careers at lucrative salaries.

Gehr, Fixed Operations Director Ernie Hack, Service Director Sean Drane, Service Advisor Remy Price, and Service Managers Blanca Ochoa and other Webb employees for provided an extraordinary learning opportunity for students.
