Transportation, Distribution & Logistics Back to all programs The Wisconsin Automotive Technician YA Program is designed to provide students with a working understanding of core employability and technical skills, as well as occupationally specific skills that serve as the standard for occupational pathways in the automotive service industry. ​ This program provides the framework for educators and industry to work together to produce work-ready, entry-level employees that will compete favorably in a global market, as well as, provide for post-secondary educational advancement while integrating work-based learning in the school and worksite. ​ Check out this Student Career Info video on DCSC Automotive Technicians Check out our NBC15 News story about our Belleville Automotive Course DCSC NATEF Certification ​ ​ STUDENT TESTIMONIAL "The youth apprenticeship program has really opened my eyes toward the kind of work that is out there in the real world working towards a career goal that you have set. During the short time I’ve been working at Wilde East Towne Honda I noticed the different kinds of work that comes through the doors, and the different kind of jobs there are at a car dealership. I have had an amazing time working at a job, and a place that I actually care about--not a job that you can blow off. This program has shown me different kinds of people you work with at a workplace, not along everyone that is your age, but more so around the age of having a wife/ husband, and possibly kids. This program has taught me to be more responsible with my life, because one bad grade can take you out of the program, and take the opportunity and the experience away. So far it’s been amazing. You’ll get treated with respect and treated like part of the team, not like the lowest part of the food chain. I highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone interested in any of the available career fields, as it could show you what you want to do, and launch you into your career path."

Sergei Capaul Waunakee Class Of 2013 Company: Clean Lakes Alliance - Madison Program: Marketing What did you love about YA? This program jump-started my success for future opportunities and careers as there was a focus on upskilling and development in my conversations with Mr. Benz. He helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses in certain projects and tasks that I did at my internship. He helped me understand where I would best suited for in a future career and how to play to my strengths. I think at the time, paying special attention to those types of soft skills, I am more in-tune with my learning and development now as an adult. How did YA influence your plans after high school? After completing my YA program, I went on to have 2 internships with Spectrum Brands, became the President of UW-Whitewater's PRSSA Chapter, became a Marketing Intern at Baker Tilly and have since moved into my career as a Marketing Coordinator at ManpowerGroup. What do you want others to know about YA? ​
