INA, Ill. (Dec. 4, 2023)鈥擫emond鈥檚 Chrysler Center in Fairfield partnered with 海角视频 to provide the Automotive Technology department some of the newest vehicles on the market today to provide students with valuable hands-on training.
In the world of Automotive Technology, advancements are being made every two or three years, and one of RLC鈥檚 core values is to provide a well-rounded, authentic educational experience to students so that they are best prepared to enter the working field after graduation.
With support from RLC President Terry Wilkerson, the 2023 Silverado will be leased out to the Auto Tech program every few months for a year鈥檚 time. The students will have the opportunity to study the mechanics of these vehicles so that they stay up to date with the current technology coming out today.
鈥淭his is a great resource for the kids,鈥� Jay Copple said. 鈥淲e want to do everything we can to give them a leg-up going into the business.鈥�
Wilkerson said, 鈥淭he newest and best technology should be available for all our students. With the advancements made to the Agronomy Innovation Center over the past year, I asked what other ways we could make improvements for programs to stay relevant to the growing industry. With the new truck that has been leased to the Automotive Technology department, our students will get hands-on training with vehicles they are more likely to encounter out on the job somewhere. We want 海角视频 to be the stepping stone for students鈥� career and educational goals. Every student who goes through our programs should have access to modern equipment to get the most experience they can while they鈥檙e here, so they鈥檙e better equipped to tackle their futures outside of RLC.鈥�
The Auto Tech program at RLC is nationally accredited through the Automotive Service Excellence Education Foundation. The ASE Education Foundation is an organization that certifies mechanics through 8 tests, which the Auto Tech programs prepares them for.
