Teenagers can learn auto skills for free

Incoming ninth-, 10th- and 11th-grade MontgomeryCounty Public Schools students can apply to attend free summer automotive camps where they’ll get an orientation to mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems; learn car maintenance, safety and auto body painting; and obtain auto industry career information.

“Oftentimes students don’t realize there are a lot of different career paths for people interested in the auto industry,” said Judyn Rengers, Montgomery County Public Schools career and community outreach specialist. “There are lots of options beyond becoming an auto body technician; students will learn about finance, sales and after-market careers in these camps.”
