By expanding our footprint and launching specialized training using the Switch Lab EV pathway, we are directly addressing the critical shortage of electric vehicle technicians in our rural community. This investment ensures our program remains a leader in workforce development while providing our students with a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving industry.

As a teacher, it is exactly what you want. To be able to just lay the foundations in the classroom and then get out here and just assign them a very complicated piece of a car, and then to just take the reins and go is exactly what you look for in a student.

It really is plug and play. Any school can do this, regardless of the tools or shop facility. You can start with any space.

It’s a phenomenal piece of equipment. I love driving it. Every high school and community college should have one.

It’s the most powerful thing I’ve been a part of. My students have big goals now, because they see what they can do.

As a learning tool, it’s awesome. So many aspects tie into my course – from electricity to batteries to the concept of torque. I’d love to see this in all schools.
