Automotive technology January 24, 2009
David May knows a bit about the automotive field. He spends his days teaching in the automotive technology program at Colorado Northwestern Community College. The course however is geared toward high school students, as well as college students. May said the program, which began last year, is important for two reasons. "Number one, Moffat County High School no longer offers an automotive course through the school," May said, "and number two, within the automotive industry, there's a huge shortage of qualified automotive technicians." So now he spends his time teaching. From 7 a.m. till 10 p.m., he instructs students in the field of knowledge he loves. For those interested in finding out more about or taking the automotive technology course, visit www.cncc.edu.
