A partnership between Chariot Automotive Group, Ivy Tech Kokomo and local schools in north central Indiana provides an opportunity for students to get hands-on training toward a career at no cost.
TIPTON — According to a recent study by S&P, Americans are driving their cars for a longer period of time.With the rising costs of new vehicles, many Americans are holding onto their current rides, and that means they are going to need repairs.
"I was very interested growing up around my brother and grandpa and dad and being around cars," said Money, who is a participant in the new ATEP program, which stands for Automotive Technician Education Pathway."When there's a business or industry partner who comes to us for a need, we want to be able to fill that need," said Laura Hapner of Ivy Tech Kokomo."It was clear that this is really a gap.
Hapner says they utilize career coaches in the high schools to help students and their parents learn about options like this training program. It is an opportunity for students to get free training toward a career before they even graduate school and can set them on a path to success with less college debt.
Frick got his start in the industry as an automotive tech. He moved up into a management role and is now in upper management. He says interested students in high school can reach out to them and they will give them an aptitude test to see if they are mechanical and able to grasp this kind of training.
He says the ATEP program at Chariot currently has 27 students, 26 male and one female, and they spend about three hours a day at the academy.
