Students at several Halton high schools are getting an education in Ford’s technology
Students at Nelson High in Burlington are getting a supercharged education thanks to a donation from Ford of Canada to help in the automotive training program.
The manufacturer donated engines, transmissions, turbochargers, and more car parts to more than 40 schools around the country to raise awareness for careers in the automotive industry.
The Automotive Career Exploration program has been running since 2019. Students in a Ford ACE partnership get key knowledge about Ford vehicles thanks to specialty training in free, online courses meant to supplement the school’s curriculum and prepare students for a career at a Ford dealership.
Additional Halton region schools that received a donation include Oakville’s Abbey Park High School and White Oaks Secondary School, and Milton’s Elsie MacGill Secondary School.
