The technician training program of WANADA’s Automobile Dealer Education Institute (ADEI) was very pleased to receive two vehicles from Volvo Group North America to be used as trainers for our technician apprentices. One vehicle will be housed at Montgomery College in Rockville, where ADEI conducts classes three days per week. The second vehicle was delivered to ADEI’s newest training site in Prince George’s County where that site’s initial cohort is completing its inaugural semester. A second cohort is gearing up to begin instruction in Prince George’s, so this vehicle will be instrumental, as classes will be running two days per week there beginning this fall. Many thanks to Jamie Darvish and the DARCARS organization for facilitating the donation!
In addition to its flagship apprenticeship program for entry-level technicians, ADEI is currently developing programming for your more experienced technicians, including an electric vehicle (EV) intro course and certification for Maryland State Inspections in conjunction with the Maryland State Police. Both courses are tentatively slated for the summer. For more information, please contact WANADA’s Director of Education Joe Hemberger at jh@wanada.org or 267-346-1700.
