The automotive technology program provides the necessary training to diagnose, test, and repair the complicated workings of modern cars. Specific systems are covered in the classroom and then applied on automobiles in the lab and during the summer internship program. This training includes the latest electronic computer control ignition and fuel systems and front wheel drive automobiles. Graduates are ready for entry level positions as line technicians, service writers, and, with experience, service managers and auto repair business owners.
The automotive technology program has incorporated an employer and student guarantee into its program of study that states: Any "certified" graduate judged to be lacking in technical job skill normally expected of a job-entry level employee will be provided further skill training of up to 14 credit hours, without charge, by Northeast Community College. For more detailed information on this guarantee, contact a program instructor.
Northeast Community College and Wayne State College have an agreement that Wayne State will accept up to 66 credit hours from Northeast toward a bachelor of science degree in technology. (Enrollment into this program is limited and is based on the date of application.)
