2016 National Automotive Technology Competition
Animated publication
A message from GNYADA Vice President, Education & Communications, Edward Gazzillo
Welcome.
Students across the nation are gearing up to compete at the 2016 National Automotive Technology Competition, for a chance to be named one of America’s Top Technicians.
Since 1993, the National Automotive Technology Competition has brought together the country’s best and brightest high school automotive students to test their skill, measure their knowledge, and challenge their ability to diagnose and repair vehicles. The National Automotive Technology Competition is designed to incorporate real-world relevance, reflecting the knowledge that young people need in today’s technologically advanced automotive industry. The job of an automotive technician today is as much about laptops as it is oil changes. The National Automotive Technology Competition was originally conceived by the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association to help address the shortage of qualified automotive technicians and push the curriculum of vocational education to a higher standard of rigor. This helps to ensure that automotive students are mastering the skills they need to succeed as lifelong learners, workers and citizens. Schools across America have risen to the challenge. Today’s automotive students are better prepared and more qualified to join the workforce than ever before. This event and the impact it has on the industry would not exist without collaboration between nearly every major automobile manufacturer, retail automobile dealers, dealer associations, educational institutions, and numerous government agencies. Through their efforts, more than $3 million in prizes and scholarships will be awarded to participating students and their schools. These great organizations have changed literally thousands of lives.
I congratulate every participant on making it to the National Automotive Technology Competition, and wish you the best of luck moving forward.
Respectfully yours,
Edward P. Gazzillo Vice President – Education & Communications Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association
