With opportunities for new careers in this growing industry, the Western Maricopa Education Center has launched a new EV program available to students across 14 public school districts and two charter districts in the Valley.
"As technology changes and with many states mandating EV adoption by 2035, we recognized the need for an education program that would offer students an opportunity to develop skills working on modern-day automobiles," said Randy Golding, a West-MEC automotive technology instructor."Having an actual working EV provides students with a hands-on experience that will enhance their learning experience.
Golding said the SRP EV will provide a physical tool for students to have exposure to the inner workings of an EV where they can apply technical knowledge and skills to repair, service, and maintain a fully electric vehicle.
