As the shortage of automotive technicians continue to worsen, many training programs across the country are looking for ways to respond to the critical need for new technicians to enter the industry. Florida Career College (FCC), an accredited, employee-owned post-secondary career education system with campus locations in Florida and Texas, is one example.
The FCC is expanding its automotive technician program in South Florida at the FCC campus locations in Lauderdale Lakes and West Palm Beach. Those interested can now enroll to start on Feb. 28. Both day and evening classes will be available.
At FCC, students can earn their diploma in just 10 months, and the college offers comprehensive career services for all students, including career placement assistance. Additionally, financial aid is available to those who qualify.
"At Florida Career College we work directly with industry employers and subject matter experts to design training programs that prepare our graduates with relevant, current skills," said Lynn Mulherin, regional vice president of operations, FCC, in a press release from FCC. "The Automotive Technician program is continually being updated based on the needs of the sector. For example, the increasing popularity of electric vehicles has contributed to the growing need for skilled automotive technicians who are trained to perform repairs on both traditional and electric systems."
