Student Information
Career Transition
Good placement opportunities are critical to your success. During the UAW-LETC/T-TEN Program, our Career Transistion Specialists will initiate a job search for dealership openings in an area of your choice. Once a prospective dealership is contacted we will send you there for a short time to complete the interview process. In most cases, you will be given a job offer because of the qualifications you have gained through the program. If for some reason you and this particular dealership are not suited for one another we will continue to work with you until the right match is reached. This is an opportunity you cannot pass up.
ASE Certification
All UAW students will be given the opportunity to enroll for ASE Certification tests. Twice each year, in May and November, ASE tests are offered. We encourage every student to take and pass ASE Certification tests. Our class structure is arranged to provide in-depth preparation and training for each test area in our program.
