MCC's Automotive Technology Program Receives Statewide Spotlight

Spectrum News 1 interviewed Eric Strong, assistant professor at the Applied Technologies Center, for a segment on the high demand for automotive technicians statewide. He and three students were interviewed for the report, which aired in the Southern Tier, Albany, Buffalo and Central New York in addition to Rochester. The students are Breckin Parsons, Michael Ta-Phan and Tresure Niyonkuru. 

Key takeaways:

  • Most students already have jobs waiting for them through a partnership between MCC and local dealerships and shops.
  • "We don't have any problem filling any positions out there, whether it's a dealership or an independent shop." - Assistant Professor Strong

Many thanks to Christopher Langswager from ATC for recruiting students for the interview.
