Dandenong TAFE students will put their new skills to the test on a donated car.
Excited automotive apprentices at Chisholm Institute recently took delivery of a black Holden Commodore SSV, which ACM Parts donated for student training.
Last year’s apprentices repaired and restored an ACM Parts-donated Toyota Corolla to full working condition.
ACM Parts CEO Mike Kirkman said he was looking forward to the next chapter of the education alliance.
“Our first project with Chisholm was a huge hit with the apprentices,” he said.
“Students were encouraged to take charge of their own education and it was fantastic to see them get excited about putting the outstanding automotive training they receive at Chisholm into action and take their learning to the next level.
“Investing in these students is the way forward and we are excited to continue working with and supporting Chisholm to create a bright future for the automotive industry.”
Chisholm automotive technology senior educator Damien Bitzios said a direction for the car project had not been confirmed.
“The learning possibilities for this project are endless,” he said.
“Drift, drag, race car or something else entirely – we have a number of options on the table; we can’t wait to get started and see where this project will take us.”
