Enterprise Holdings and Ranken Technical College are partnering to attract more people to auto technician careers. Industry experts predict tens of thousands of jobs will need to be filled, with many paying upward of $100,000 a year. The Automotive Collision Engineering Pilot Program is designed to help rectify a perception problem with the auto tech career field, said Mary Mahoney, a vice president in Enterprise’s Insurance Replacement Division. “It’s just not attracting younger folks or anyone to it at this point,” she said, while adding that influencers like parents and school counselors might not be aware that it can be a well-paying job with many career options.
