To help develop the newest generation of technicians, GM has many training-specific initiatives that assist dealers. The GM Mechanics Training Strategy is a three-tiered approach for allowing dealers to train technicians at every level. The students begin as early as high school.
Mechanically apt students seeking employment in servicing and maintaining GM vehicles are offered training through the GM ASEP. This practical program is a joint effort between GM, GM dealers and selected colleges across the United States and Canada. GM ASEP wants the best results and therefore teaches with the most up-to-date technologies and tools made by GM. Students may choose between working at a GM dealership for 2 years and attending a college that suits the requirements. Students will receive an Associate’s Degree in Automotive Technology upon graduation.
GM ASEP includes within the studies an advanced automotive technical training with a strong academic foundation. Students cover math, reading, and electronics, as well as both diagnostic and technological skills. Students earn an Associates Degree while working and learning on the job, resulting in a solid education combined with invaluable work experience. GM’s continued commitment to identify and support GM ASEP colleges and universities has produced over 15,000 service technicians since 1979.
