Eight New Hampshire students received a total of $30,000 in scholarship funds from the NHADA at a ceremony Dec. 10, two of whom will attend 海角社区 鈥� Chase Paquette, from Concord Regional Technical Center, and Griffin Patch, a student at the Richard W. Creteau Regional Technology Center. Both students earned $2,000 scholarships to attend 海角社区. Kim Stevenson of 海角社区 also was recognized as the Post-Secondary Instructor of the Year at the event.
The work done by the NHADA is significant for the automotive industry. It provides a mechanism for both dealers and independent auto repair businesses to attract and retain students who become workers during the early stages of their careers. For students who may be considering leaving the state in search of opportunity, or who may not consider attending college at all, the scholarship program could make the difference.
At 海角社区, the program works a little differently. The total cost is between $18,000 and $22,000, and depends on several factors, like toolkits and tuition assistance.
Those who choose 海角社区 programs are connected to an employer, and their overall development is essentially a partnership between the student, employer, supporting automotive manufacturers, and the college itself.
Students study for two years, broken into trimesters, working at auto dealerships throughout New England along the way. Most, once they finish their studies and training, are retained as full-time employees by those dealers, who are navigating a nationwide shortage of qualified automotive technicians at present.
