 Northwest Technical College in Bemidji highlights its program that covers basic tasks for repairing vehicles during its Automotive Service and Performance Day. The prospective students met with faculty and staff and toured the facility. Students gained experience in forced labor induction systems and engine management. They're also allowed to work on their own vehicles as long as they relate to the tasks taught in the classroom or vehicle was provided for them. This industry has several job opportunities such as a mechanic. With our vehicles on the road actually aging, we see our average age of the vehicles around 11.4 years old now, which is the highest ever, is going to provide a higher demand for technicians. It's a four-step, I should say, a four-semester program for students to complete the program.
