Automotive Services
Creating 6.6 million jobs and producing $243 billion in payroll compensation, the automotive industry is one the largest in the United States. Those jobs encompass a broad range of skills and interests in the clean, air-conditioned and safe environment that is the modern automobile dealership. From automobile service technicians to sales, there are excellent opportunities for anyone interested in making a career out of the American love affair with the automobile.
Demand for employees in this sector is high, and most new employees receive extensive on-the-job training. New salespeople receive mentoring from experienced salespeople to learn successful sales strategies and classroom training on the models for sale. The increasing pace of technology makes this an exciting and demanding career. Service technicians must continually adapt to these changes to repair increasingly sophisticated systems. Formal automotive technician training is the best preparation for these challenging technology-based jobs.
