John A., Automotive Technology

Ever since I got my first car I knew I was interested; when I started working I realized a love for it I never knew I had. I decided to research the trade online and see exactly where I could take this. My dad graduated from Pennco Tech so he and I decided to call to find out more. I loved what I heard when I called and I signed up for the Auto Body Program. I graduated with Honors and began my career! I told Ms. Teresa that I will be back to share my experience with the students still studying.

Miahmad F., Automotive Technology

I graduated High School and I knew it was time to get a job! I loved working on cars so I decided to try Pennco Tech. I worked in the field part-time while in school, finishing school wasn’t easy…I kept going and I’m glad I did. I am now a Used Car Service Tech with Chapman, the real beginning of my Career!
