Youth Automotive Technician Training scollins@newcommunity.org
Young adults, ages 16-21, are trained for automotive technician careers. Every effort is made to duplicate the workplace, including wearing uniforms and punching a clock. When they finish the fifteen-month program, YATC students can earn $8-$12 per hour. They have the ability to quickly move up to jobs that pay $14-$20 per hour. The goal is earning $40,000 a year within five years of graduation.
