This is Wonderful for young people wanting to work with their hands and minds to solve and repair, maintain vehicles.
After high school can get a good paying job and have Zero student loan burden.
Have said, and mean, many times that the folks who work on the brakes for my truck are more important than my medical doctors. I depend upon them to make sure my vehicle runs, operates properly and stops when needed so they are a very important part of my life.
Thanks to all in our Service Industries…..Y’all are GREAT.
About time that the “Educators” figured this out….

Awesome, bring back a lot more of these programs. All that lottery money that was promised to Florida education has been slowly moved over to bright future college scholarships. Help k-12, not after that.

I am so happy to see this. I was in autobody at tate all through high-school until I graduated in 2007. I still to this day keep up with Mr. Rich chandler who was a great teacher. Glad to see the old building being put back to good use of training our younger generation. I also think they need to implement a welding class for kids who are interested in the welding field. I’d be more than happy to come in my time off and help teach kids to weld at tate.

I rebuilt and painted a Farmall in the Tate shop class in 1965. more trades need taught to high school students now.

I am so happy to see this! Far too many programs have been deleted over the last several years. Way to go Tate.

This is great news, but I’m taking it that this will be more towards auto mechanics and not auto body repair like in the past?

This is great news and I’m sure will interest many students. And the fact that they can earn an ASE certificate should help prepare them in their job hunting. Way to go Aggies!!
