Press Release Body = VC Tech will host its High School Instructor 2006 seminar Monday, June 26th through Friday, June 30th; the event is the second of its kind and is being held again this year due to popular demand. High school instructors from 10 states across the U.S. will attend training classes on Custom Paint and Airbrush, Welding and Fabrication, Basic and Aluminum Repair and Welding, among others. These continuing education classes are needed to keep instructors\' National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF)-certified status.
WHAT: VC Tech hosts high school instructor seminar for instructors from 10 states and offers attendees continuing education classes needed to keep NATEF certification. WHEN: June 26th- June 30th WHERE: VC Tech - 2790 Pelham Parkway - Pelham, AL 35124
"The seminar brings individuals into the city from states as far west as Wyoming and as far north as Ohio," says Dick Daigle, President of VC Tech. "VC Tech is broadening its role as a leading U.S. automotive school, attracting attention from industry professionals across the country."
The purpose of high school instructor visits/training seminars is two-fold. Seminars not only help provide credible, first-hand information about VC Tech to instructors who assist high school graduates in selecting a post-secondary institution for their automotive training, but they also benefit NATEF certified instructors by providing continuing education training for credit in several automotive areas.
The automotive industry is one of the fastest growing segments for employment. The demand for qualified automotive technicians to service more sophisticated vehicle technologies is increasing. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics estimates a current shortage of 60,000 trained automotive technicians; jobs are then readily available to those who qualify in most areas of the United States.
