Northland Workforce Auto Tech Program Launches in Conjunction with West Herr
Recently, we celebrated the official launch of a new automotive technician program at Northland Workforce Training Center designed to narrow the skill gap for local labor trained in the auto industry.
The program, which West Herr helped establish the vision for in collaboration with SUNY Erie Community College, is currently supporting 30 students who will be awarded college credits and a certificate upon course completion. 🎉 🚘 🔧
“The demand for automotive technicians has increased significantly over the past decade. Industry and education must be aligned for this skilled trade to grow and evolve with the technology and demand,” said Jay Galligan, West Herr Vice President of Fixed Operations.
“The Northland program brings together SUNY Erie and industry partners like West Herr to ensure relevant training is being provided to students who will graduate with employment-ready skills. The lab and classrooms are set up to support direct, hands-on learning, providing a great head-start. We are honored to be part of this partnership and look forward to the future success this program will bring for our community.”
