Providing the Road Map
Through training programs at your local community college, you can become certified in a variety of technical skills. And, in many cases, someone else will pick up the tab.

Go for a Revved Up Career
Wages are competitive, which means that you can start at better than competitive hourly rates once you have finished your program.

Working conditions are good. It is a modern, high-tech environment. And there is a big push on training so you will keep up to date with the latest advancements.

Take the Job with You
If you decide to live in another state or if you'd rather stay right here in Oregon, you can still get a job. The skills you learn go with you, and they are needed everywhere.

Jobs are in Demand
In Oregon, the automotive industry is the second largest employer. And according to recent surveys, jobs in the industry are expected to increase into the next century. Benefits are good. It may not mean much to you now, but as you go through different life stages, you will appreciate comprehensive benefits to cover health and financial issues.

Getting There
Community college certification programs typically take two years. You will take courses in math, science, computers, and communications. In addition, you will get hands on experience by working in the college shops. Internships also allow you to gain practical experience while getting your education.

You may be able to attend school at practically no cost to you. Because the need is so great, a coalition of dealers and others has created a fund to cover the education costs of students in these certified programs. You will receive training, job security and financial support.

Don't Hesitate... Call Today
Your school counselor can give you more information about this program and discuss your career options. You can also contact your local community college directly to see what they have to offer. Either way, they can steer you into a fast-paced, flexible career that pays well, is in demand and offers you lots of room to grow.

For graduating high school seniors, the Metro Portland New Car Dealers Association even offers financial support for technical training. If you're looking for work or considering a career change, explore the possibilities.
