Twenty teens -- girls and boys, ages 14 and up -- had the opportunity to experience automotive trades this summer. Rebuilding a 1935 Ford sedan and building a replica 1967 Cobra sports car, the students have been working in the college's automotive service technician and automotive collision repair shops.
The project combines two of the college's strengths -- excellence in transportation trades training and VCC's considerable expertise working with inner-city communities. Supporting the initiative are the Ray-Cam Community Centre, the Vancouver Police and a steadily growing list of industry and corporate sponsors with donations of equipment, materials and funding.
