Do you do anything with local high schools or tech schools to encourage more students to enter the profession?

Euro Motorcars Devon is partnered with the Automotive Training Center (ATC) in Exton, PA. ATC is an automotive training school whose goal is to develop the skills of their students for a long, prosperous automotive technician career. There is a massive shortage of automotive technicians nationally, but the shortage is being felt extra hard in the Philadelphia area. Demand is at an all-time high for automotive technicians while technician supply is at an all-time low - a trend being felt by both business and consumer. We donated 2 Mercedes-Benz vehicles to ATC for training purposes. Euro Motorcars Devon are pioneering a movement to buck this trend and provide more training vehicles and resources for a more attractive, hands-on curriculum to recruit individuals who are looking for a position in the automotive industry. Euro Motorcars Devon, along with ATC, is looking to provide opportunities for these young professionals looking to start a career in the automotive industry. Euro Motorcars Devon is the first Mercedes-Benz dealership nationally to partner with Mercedes-Benz USA to donate vehicles to one of these training schools. While these training centers have access to limited vehicles for training, getting more high-line brands on board, such as Mercedes-Benz, will provide these students with an uncapped potential. Euro Motorcars Devon, Mercedes-Benz USA, and the Automotive Training Center hopes to educate regarding the demand for automotive technicians and, that the opportunity is great for a life-long career that will only continue to grow. With this donation, we hope to infuse excitement and show the possibilities for the future for these young men and women. Our company hopes other dealerships step up and join the movement to grow the industry and create more local jobs. We urge others to donate and do their part in helping our community.
