ATi's Waiting Room

Most, if not all Career Technical Education Pathways (at least in my are) for High School and Community College programs require a board. Are you on it? Many Instructors, or heads of those programs scramble for members to meet with at least annually to go over their program. 

One of the best ways to get in good and offer a chance at recruiting out of the program is to do things that may help that program move forward. Why not start with giving up a couple of hours once a year so the instructor can check a box? Who knows, your input can have profound affects on the programs direction. 

When you participate and the program has a rising star they want to place, who gets the first call?

Any success stories out there doing this?

Get on the board with the local training programs for auto technicians and also donate cars that are not fixable so they have something to work on that is more modern than most of what they typically have to fix.  We frequently get cars that our customers finally stop fixing and they want a way to dispose of them so we offer the local automotive training program information to them to donate it.  They get to write it off as charity which is probably more than it is worth to the junk yard. We also occasionally have mechanics lien vehicles that we donate.  Good writeoff for us as well.

Very good idea. If not the whole car sometimes replaced modules, engines transmissions that didn't have cores etc..
