“My favorite part about being a technician is the feeling of accomplishment when I fix something that wasn’t working right,” says Ava Keels, a current student in the Automotive Student Service Education Training (ASSET) program. A proud U.S. Air Force veteran from North Carolina, Ava had a post-military career supporting veterans and began transitioning to a new field last year. The ASSET program was a perfect vehicle to get her started on the path to reach her ultimate goal: to become a Master Technician. The ASSET program alternates technical classes with paid internships and allows participants to earn an associate degree while accruing hands-on dealership experience. She says that when she’s learning on the job, “every day brings something different, and that keeps things interesting and challenging.” Ava is also grateful for the support of the Ford Auto Tech Scholarship program for students pursuing careers in auto, diesel, or auto/diesel technology, sponsored by Ford Philanthropy and Ford Dealers. “Having a respected brand like Ford invest in my future gives me even more confidence in the career path I’ve chosen.” “I wanted a career where I could use my skills, keep learning, and do something that truly matters,” Ava says. “I also wanted a job that I look forward to going to everyday. I’m passionate about keeping people safe and their vehicles running right.” Interested in an auto tech career like Ava’s?
