Central Texas College, Workforce Solutions of Central Texas, Texas Ford Dealers and the U.S. Army hosted an event to recognize the partnership program which provides transitioning soldiers career opportunities in the automotive industry.
The Technicians of Tomorrow program, which began last August, is designed to educate soldiers as they transition out of service and place them in employment as technicians at Ford dealerships across Texas, according to a news release from Central Texas College.
The partnership event held in the automotive bay of the CTC Industrial Technology Department was highlighted by a grant donation of $106,303 from the Workforce Solutions of Central Texas for training vehicles and equipment. The grant was matched by Texas Ford Dealers for a total contribution of more than $212,600.
