If you were to ask Steve Reinarts, Dean of Dunwoody\u2019s Automotive programs, why he was especially happy last week, he would quickly tell you that the season of giving came early for his department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automotive students gathered around the 2012 GMC Sierra \u00be ton diesel pick-up truck donated by Luther Automotive group.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Delivering that gift was\u00a0Meg Miller, Matt Carlson and Tim Stoesz,\u00a0<\/em>representatives from Luther Automotive Group, in the form of a\u00a02012 GMC Sierra \u00be ton diesel pick-up truck\u00ad\u2013a wish come true for Reinarts and his faculty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While speaking with the students, Stoesz stressed his company\u2019s passion for helping students succeed in Automotive by continuing their strong relationship with Dunwoody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe stronger they are, the stronger we are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truck donation is the latest in a well-established partnership to help build career pathways for technicians. Dunwoody currently has nine students who are part of the Luther Tech Trac student sponsorship program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students chosen for this program must prove themselves through their work ethic, and receive a faculty recommendation in order to be considered. <\/p>\n\n\n\nDunwoody Tech Trac program students gather around the the diesel pick-up donated by Luther Automotive group.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The program provides qualified students with up to $4,000 in tuition sponsorship to be used towards completion of an accredited two-year certificate or degree program. It also offers paid, part-time work at one of the Luther Group Dealerships while in school, allowing students to transition to full-time employment once they graduate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want people who want a career, not a job,\u201d Carlson said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the future of our business right here,\u201d said Stoesz. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking turns sitting inside and looking under the hood, students gathered around the diesel truck parked inside the Warren Building, home to the Automotive, Welding, and HVACR programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Sierra will go to great use training our students on the latest in diesel technology,\u201d Reinarts said. \u201cIt will be implemented fully into the curriculum after the first of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
