TUCSON, Ariz. — “When I first walked in, I walked upstairs and looked from the top and I saw all the tools and everything, it’s really mind-blowing,” student Kyle James recalls the moments he walked into the Pima Community College’s Automotive Technology and Innovation Center.
He has been a part of this program since day one. “It’s very rewarding because I was a student back in the day many many years ago, so I’ve been through the program and now I’m helping build the program.” Student Samuel Miller plans to move through the program as quickly as possible. He says, “This station is 7 stations and I plan to do a station a week, so about 7 weeks for this course.”
For others like James, he hopes to make it his career. “I hope to become a mechanic and I hope to work for a good company like Porsche,” says James.
