DMACC student Sarah Myers of Dawson has graduated from the General Motors Automotive Service Education Program (ASEP) at the DMACC Ankeny campus.
Myers was sponsored by Bob Brown Chevrolet of Urbandale. The DMACC-GM partnership provides both entry-level training and advanced-technology training for GM dealership technicians. Since the program’s inception, 410 students have graduated from the 33 ASEP classes at DMACC.
In the ASEP program, students spend about half of their time at the community college, learning the latest automotive technology on current production GM vehicles, and the other half applying what they’ve learned at their sponsoring GM dealership, according to Jerry Burns, DMACC Automotive Technology/ASEP Program chairperson.
At the end of the five-semester program, each student earns an Associate of Applied Science Degree in automotive technology.
