PROGRAM OF THE WEEK – POST #2 - Automotive Collision Technology Technician

At George Stone Technical College, our Automotive Collision Technology Technician students aren’t just learning about collision repair—they’re gaining hands-on experience!

A key part of our program is our strong connection with industry partners and our advisory council. Their input helps us make sure our training, equipment, and skills stay aligned with what today’s automotive collision industry needs. Our students are learning the skills and techniques that can help prepare them for success in the workplace.

Hands-On Training with Industry Tools. From repairing dents and damaged panels to measuring vehicle structures, welding, sanding, and preparing vehicles for paint, students gain experience with the tools they’ll encounter in a professional collision repair environment.

Students learn to safely and effectively use a wide range of professional tools and equipment, including:

Hand Tools: Wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, and pry bars
Body Repair Tools: Body hammers, dollies, slide hammers, and dent pullers
Power Tools: Drills, angle grinders, sanders, and impact wrenches
Cutting Tools: Body saws, reciprocating saws, and shears
Paint Tools: Spray guns, paint mixing equipment, sanding blocks, and masking tools
Measuring Tools: Tape measures, tram gauges, rulers, and electronic measuring systems
Welding Equipment: MIG welders and related welding tools
Shop Equipment: Vehicle lifts, frame machines, dent repair equipment, and air compressors

Learning by Doing at George Stone Technical College!

Our Electricity students are putting their skills to work right here on campus! They are currently replacing outdated classroom lighting fixtures with new, modern fixtures that are flush with the ceiling.

The new lights provide higher wattage while using less energy than the older fixtures they are replacing. Because the new lighting is more efficient, fewer fixtures are needed to provide the same—or better—lighting throughout the classrooms.

This project is giving our students valuable, hands-on experience with:
🔹 Removing and installing lighting fixtures
🔹 Electrical connections and wiring
🔹 Working safely in an active school environment
🔹 Understanding energy-efficient electrical systems
🔹 Repairing and replacing ceiling tiles where the old fixtures were located

What better way to learn than by putting classroom knowledge into practice on a real project? Our students are gaining skills they can take directly into the workforce while helping improve our campus along the way!
