Chemeketa Community College Automotive Technology Career Event

Dear Educator, Counselor and Administrative Staff Member

You and select students are invited to Chemeketa Community College for our Tri-County Automotive Leadership Institute (TALI) Event.  This one day event will introduce students to the career path of Automotive Technology and Repair. The event will take place on Thursday December 12, 2013  8:00am – 1:30pm with refreshments & lunch provided. There is no cost for this event but we ask that a chaperone from each participating high school attend with their students.

As you know, today’s vehicles are complex and require good foundational training. The Automotive Industry not only requires someone who possesses mechanical ability, but also requires skills in computer technology, math ability, understanding in science, and ability to decipher complex & detailed service manuals and information. During the event, we will have demonstrations with Hybrid vehicles, alternative fuels and electronic vehicle controls all relating to the importance of a well rounded education.  Our goal through this event is to spark interest in the Automotive Technology & Repair Industry giving students optional career paths. This technology is not only in the automotive realm, but relative to agriculture, industrial machinery and much more. 

All students who desire to attend must fill out an application. Based upon the application, Chemeketa representatives will review them at which point after the selection process, you will be notified of which students are eligible to attend. The event enrollment is limited to 40 students from across our High School region.  

We are making the application available through this e-mail. The filled out applications may be returned to us through e-mail (preferred) or by fax or US mail if needed.

It would be an honor and our privilege to have you and your students as our guests at this TALI event. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Also, if you are interested in having a Chemeketa representative come out to visit a class and present Chemeketa’s Automotive Technology Program, it would be our sincere pleasure. Just e-mail me and we’ll arrange a date & time.
