Team Co-opResponsibilities

At “ATR “ there are always a lot of things to do. Our responsibilities include:

•Cleaning the shop daily; which includes cleaning up oil stains, sweeping, taking out the trash, or thoroughly cleaning some of the many areas.•Performing a majority of the oil changes.•Being any of the mechanics right hand man. This includes passing them tools, putting tools away, or helping them with whatever they are trying to accomplish.•Last but not least, broadening our learning horizons. Being at Automotive Techniques has helped pave the way for both of educational processes. This is the start to a very immense learning journey.

Both Cassandra’s and Peter’s goals are the same yet different. Both Cassandra and Peter want to stay into the mechanic industry. Peter’s goals include; •Successfully completing the OYAP program and apprenticeship hours .•Achieving a Red Seal.•Someday hopefully owning his own business. Peter is very close to finishing school. Once Peter finishes school he is going to start preparing for his career.

Cassandra’s goals include:•Either going to college or successfully completing the OYAP program and apprenticeship hours.•Achieving a Red Seal •Hopefully owning her own business one day.

For both of us to achieve our goals we have to endure a long schooling process. Both of us will need business degrees to open a business. Both of us will also have to do various tests and programs to achieve our Red Seal. Before all of this is possible we will need to finish high school. The end result of our hard work should result in a mechanics liscence.
