Suffern, NY—Three SUNY Rockland Automotive Students received full scholarships valued at $2,500 each to attend advanced automotive training in Monroe, Michigan, at Tenneco Automotive facilities. The students will study the latest in automotive suspension technology from October 19 - October 22, 2008.
Students Noah Feinstein of Pomona; Stephen Satz of Sloatsburg, and Nicholas Russo of Wappinger Falls, received the scholarships for being the top automotive students. Feinstein has already passed four of the eight Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) exams on his way to become ASE Master Tech Certified.
These scholarships, which include transportation, hotel, meals and training, are the result of the efforts of Miele Automotive Parts Distributors Inc., in Pearl River and Yonkers. Nicholas Miele, President; Joe Metrovich, Sales Manager; and Mike Buono, outside salesman, worked with Auto Pride, a marketing group, and Tenneco, an automotive parts manufacturer, to obtain the scholarships.
The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Automotive Technology offered at Rockland Community College prepares students to complete all the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) Standards. Students will also be prepared take all eight Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) tests to earn an ASE Master Technician certification. The A.A.S. degree gives the student the flexibility to be able to work as a technician or to continue their education to earn a bachelor’s degree in Automotive Business Management.
Joe Metrovich, Sales Manager, Miele Automotive Parts Distributors Inc., said, “A top certified automotive tech can earn up to $100,000 a year. There is a tremendous shortage of automotive techs and many times students overlook the industry.”
