Detroit Public Schools Community District has expanded its automotive training program at Bright Hop Career and Technical High School thanks to a million-dollar donation from the Joel Landy Foundation. The program offers students the opportunity to learn automotive training and collision repair, as well as earn an Automotive Service Excellence certification. Students can participate in the program during their 10th to 12th grade years, with the option to attend in the morning or afternoon and continue their regular high school classes. The program also provides paid internship opportunities at local dealerships, paying $12 to $15 per hour. This initiative aims to equip students with valuable skills and prepare them for in-demand career paths after graduation.
