The Vatterott College Campus in Sunset Hills now is registering students for the Automotive Technology Program. The program is designed to equip students with the skills necessary for a career in the automotive repair field.
The program offers hands-on training in engine repair, brake systems, electrical systems, and heating and air conditioning.
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, as the number of vehicles in use continues to grow, “more entry-level service technicians will be needed to do basic maintenance and repair, such as brake pad replacements and oil changes. The increasing lifespan of late-model cars and light trucks will further increase demand for qualified workers.”
