In addition to the application, students are also required to submit 2 letters of recommendation from non-family members as well as a typed essay or video indicating “Why I Want to Be a Top Technician.” All applications and related materials will be reviewed by Garage Gurus’ team of ASE Master-certified technicians and other team members.
“For us, everything begins with the service technician, so we remain committed to help provide them with the skills, training and knowledge they need to ensure quality repairs,” said Dennis Sheran, director, channel engagement, DRiV. “Given the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shutdown of high schools, colleges and other learning institutions, we thought that it was important to extend the deadline for submissions another month so that students have the chance and resources to fully complete their applications.”
