The quotes below are about this issue:
Employers are looking for entry-level technicians with two-year technical degrees, preferably with manufacturer-specific certifications.
| "Upon graduation, they're pretty much turn-key, and turn-key for an employer means that they're going to be productive. They can come in. They understand the product. They understand a dealership facility because they've done an internship. Three months in school, three months in our shop and so when they're graduated, they're ready to go. That's what I'm looking for, someone that's ready to go that can be productive. You can't afford to take somebody out of high school and hope that you can match them up with a technician and maybe two to three years down the road, they're going to be productive. You cannot afford that. You have to have training." | Metro |
