CACC's Automotive Technology program welcomed a new partnership
this year with Big O Tires! Just down the road from the career center, the
Big O partnership will give students the opportunity to apply their automotive
skills in a real-world work environment, along with giving students the chance
to earn scholarships for their post-secondary education.
"This partnership makes complete sense for us," said
Auto Tech instructor Johnny Green. "Our program curriculum is very
similar to what Big O does, like work on brakes, alignment, tire service
and repair, and routine services. This will be great for our kids and
we're very thankful Big O approached us with this idea."
The details of the agreement are that Big O offers CACC students
internships, job shadowing experiences, field trips, and a $1000 scholarship
for a student pursuing post-secondary education in the automotive technology
industry, and a $500 scholarship for their second year of education.
CACC looks forward to a great relationship with Big O!
