You're on your way to becoming a tomorrow maker.
At Penn College, we believe your educational experience should go beyond specialized skills. Real-world ready means taking a broader approach that builds communication skills, inspires collaboration, and encourages exploration of arts, history, and science.
Specialization requires in-depth knowledge and high-level proficiency. Students learn and apply major-specific concepts, skills, and methods.
Perspectives are points of view, offering a variety of ways of understanding, interacting, and influencing the world. Students identify, explain, and utilize the approaches used by academics and professionals to study, analyze, or understand problems, and offer solutions.
Instructor Shawn Hack will guide you through the dynamic space that’s chock full of tools and equipment. He’ll point out things like the metal fabrication area, estimating space, training bays, antique vehicles on loan from museums, and modern collision repair trainers donated by Honda.
Get hands-on training with industry-standard techniques like refinishing, plastic repair, and structural and non-structural repairs.
“The big thing that drew me to Penn College was the amount of time working in the lab compared to the time in the classroom. We spend 75-80% of our time in the lab doing hands-on training, working with partners and teachers. I work better with my hands. So, this hands-on learning helps me learn and grow.”
