Student Information

The Automotive Student Service Educational Training (ASSET) program represents a high technology program that requires close cooperation between Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury dealership sponsors, students, and Pennsylvania College of Technology. All parties must recognize the primacy of the educational experience. Ford Motor Company has provided extensive support to the College in the form of donations, and staff consultations (both of which are on going). Penn College offers an excellent program where state-of-the-art is the norm. In order to help realize this goal, mutual responsibilities, which are necessary to meet program objectives, are outlined below:
