Outstanding employment opportunities - There continues to be excellent employment opportunities for trained Advanced Transportation and Logistics Technicians, especially mechanics who have training beyond the high school level. Enrolling in SRJC's Automotive Technology Program can lead to rewarding employment at dealerships, smog stations, and repair facilities locally and across the country. Today's Technicians must not only be proficient in the traditional methods of repair and maintenance, but also prepared to work with computer-related systems that monitor, control, and maintain information related to the equipment.
Current Opportunities - SRJC Job Board
Today's Advanced Transportation and Logistics Technician - With the U.S. population highly dependent on the transportation equipment and as the transportation equipment becomes more complex, the need for trained technicians continues to grow. Today, newer vehicles have sophisticated diagnostic systems, and skilled technicians are required to make repairs. Trained technicians diagnose and repair malfunctions of internal combustion engines, electrical systems, accessories, transmissions, brakes, steering, air condition and perform tune-ups and wheel alignments. Advanced Transportation Technicians with state-of-the-art skills are in high demand.
