“This is something I’ve wanted to do a really long time. I think it’s a great opportunity for students to take that first step out there and
reach out to the dealerships.” Kevin Reilly | Apprentice | Dick Dyer Mercedes-Benz
DRIVING WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS:
AUTOMOTIVE APPRENTICESHIPS Six automotive technician apprentices signed their official letters to work with local area dealerships while completing their education and training at Midlands Tech. The announcements came as a result of the college’s partnership with the South Carolina Automobile Dealers Association (SCADA).
The program was created to help automotive students earn a competitive salary while attaining the skills needed to secure lucrative career opportunities in an industry in need of talented technicians. The students were all smiles, including Kevin Reilly, who signed on to work as an apprentice with Dick Dyer Mercedes-Benz.
“This is something I’ve wanted to do a really long time,” shared Reilly. “I think it’s a great opportunity for students to take that first step out there and reach out to the dealerships.” Every apprentice in the program earns scholarship money from SCADA, a dealership placement, and a two-year paid apprenticeship complete with a comprehensive $10,000 set of tools.
The signing event marked another successful partnership and meaningful investment into our students as they make their way into the workforce. In attendance were representatives from Dick Dyer Mercedes-Benz, Love GMC, Jim Hudson Automotive Group, Mac Tools, Apprenticeship Carolina, and the SC Technical College System.
