Job seekers are eager to quickly enter a workforce that offers stable employment op- portunities. According to a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be approximately 2.3 million unfilled jobs in various skilled trades in 2010. The automotive industry is no exception to this trend. An Occupational Outlook publication from the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that auto service technician and me- chanic jobs will grow 18 percent between 2000 to 2010. The report states that job oppor- tunities are expected to be good for people with formal training; strong diagnostic and problem solving skills; and knowledge of electronics and mathematics. “Whether consumers are driv- ing sports cars, hybrids, electric vehicles or motorcycles, there is always going to be a need for qualified automotive techni- cians,” said Tom King, director of enrollment management at Ohio Technical College (OTC), a Cleveland-based school provid- ing technical training in a variety of transportation industries. “As baby boomers retire, competition for those qualified workers will grow and ultimately increase the availability of more high-paying skilled labor jobs.” Ohio Technical College is cur- rently teaching 1,000 future techs how to service the many vehicles on today’s roads as well as those still on the horizon. Founded in 1969, the school draws students from all over the country to study a wide variety of technician train- ing programs in Automotive, Die- sel, Auto-Diesel, Collision Repair, Classic Car Restoration, High Performance and Racing, Welding and PowerSport Technology. Many trade schools, including Ohio Technical College, offer an advantageous balance of class- room learning and real-world shop skills using the latest technology and equipment. The specialized training helps job seekers in- crease their marketable skills and their ability to gain employment. Depending on which program a student graduates from, OTC boasts a job placement percentage between 80 to 95 percent. “The hands-on experience of a technical trade school is very appealing to today’s employers, many of whom are too short- staffed and pressed for time to invest in extensive training,” continues King. “And the shorter certificate programs typically cost less money than a four-year university.” For instance, Ohio Technical College students enroll in 18-month automotive program. Once com- pleted, they have the option to choose a specialty such as High Performance and Racing, Alterna- tive Fuel Vehicles, Custom Paint and Graphics or even an Associates Degree of Applied Science. In addition, OTC is one of only four BMW Service Technician Education Program (STEP) train- ing centers in the United States, which allows students to work on the latest technologies in a 27-week intensive training course. Upon completion, students can start working in any BMW dealer- ship across the country. Ohio Technical College, which was named the Tomorrow’s Tech- nician/Chicago Pneumatic 2009 School of the Year, boasts an 800,000-square-foot campus in two Ohio cities. The school’s branch campus PowerSports In- stitute (PSI) recently moved into a 210,000-square-foot facility in nearby North Randall, Ohio, to provide technical training on mo- torcycles, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, ATVs and more.

The changing face of today’s job market has led to an increase in the popularity of trade schools among both high school graduates and professionals looking for a career change. Job seekers are eager to quickly enter a workforce that offers stable employment op-portunities.
