wow... compliments to GM (despite the unbelievable amount of recalls, class action lawsuits, and ridiculous excessive oil consumption engines) they are investing the right way in training the next wave of dealership techs



Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology’s General Motors Automotive Service Educational Program (GM ASEP) has received a major donation from General Motors to help ensure students are learning on the most current technology used in today’s vehicles.

Over the past six months, OSUIT has received the following from GM:
14 - 5.3L V-8 engines
2 - 3.6L V-6 engines
2 - 6-speed automatic transmissions
1 - 2024 GMC Sierra pickup
1 - 2023 Chevrolet Traverse
1 - 2023 Chevrolet Equinox

this support ensures graduates are ready for the modern automotive industry.

“When our students graduate having been able to train on the most recent vehicles and components, they then move into the dealership with the confidence of being able to diagnose and repair customers’ vehicles.

“These donations show that the partnership between General Motors and OSUIT is strong as we have more donations scheduled to come our way in the next couple of months, including another vehicle and various components,” Penrod said. “We rely on GM to keep us on the forefront of technology with these donations. In return, GM expects us to train technicians to meet the demands of our dealers and customers.”

    FYI: There are 60 ASEP programs in the US, and all of them receive similar support from General Motors. Many of the students attend these programs essentially on a scholarship arrangement with a dealership, who assists in paying for school costs as well as providing part time employment to the student during the two year program, in exchange for the new graduate technician working at the dealership after graduation.
