In a recent press release, Ford tells us that it is expanding a training program for community colleges in two exciting ways. First, it’s going to include three new community colleges so that more students can get the skills to work on today’s vehicles. Perhaps more importantly , Ford is expanding the program to include battery-electric vehicles .

“The ASSET program puts these kids in in the classroom and then in the stall applying it. To me getting those two at the same time is going to give a dealer better technician retention and the student a better understanding of the information,” says Josh Fichter, General Manager, Five Star Ford in North Richland Hills, Texas. Adds Fichter, “It also breeds loyalty because if you’re not proactively growing your own technicians right now, you’re going to be in a world of hurt.

“Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don’t let ’em pick guitars or drive them old trucks.Everyone wants their boys to go make big bucks working in a high-prestige field, or have their sons go do something safe, like work in a cubicle from 9 to 5 five days a week. Many of us don’t want our kids taking on high adventure jobs like policing or fighting fires, and many of us don’t want our kids to “suffer” doing manual labor for a career.
