Our mission is to develop highly skilled automotive technicians ready to join the workforce in Orange County. We provide outreach, support, scholarships and training for high-tech careers in the automotive industry to students, veterans and others in Orange County. 

 The demand for automotive technicians is great, 750 positions annually in Orange County alone, including about 350 that go unfilled because of the lack of qualified applicants. To make these students aware of and ready for the opportunities, we accomplish our mission through outreach, education, scholarships and job placement.  

In the past five years, 537 students in our program were awarded scholarships, enabling them to attend an Orange County Community College Automotive Technology program.

And, in the past year, 48% of recent scholarship winners landed a full-time job as an Automotive Technician.
