A partnership between Texas Workforce Commission and Ford dealerships is making the transition for soldiers who want to be automotive technicians a little easier.
The Ford Auto Technicians of Tomorrow program is providing soldiers transitioning out of the military with a path to technician certifications.
âFour Ford certifications. One is electrical, one is brakes, steering and suspension, and climate control,â said Kenneth Freeman, Technicians of Tomorrow instructor at Central Texas College
The program is a 16 week partnership that includes classes at Central Texas College and hands on training at the dealership sponsoring a soldier.
