Ford, Dealers Invest $2M in Scholarships to Boost Automotive Tech Workforce
Ford Motor Co. and its car dealerships near me are investing $2 million in scholarships for aspiring automotive technicians. The Ford Auto Tech Scholarship fund will grant up to 400 need-based awards of $5,000 each to students enrolled in post-secondary automotive programs in specific metropolitan regions across the U.S. The scholarships are aimed at attracting the next generation of automotive technicians and addressing the industry's labor shortage, which currently faces an annual shortage of 37,000 trained technicians and will need an additional 400,000 by 2027. Students attending eligible schools in Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Kansas City, Memphis, Miami, and Seattle can apply for the cars for sale scholarships. The TechForce Foundation will administer the program, with applications open from March 4 through August 31. Recipients can use the funds to cover tuition, tools, living expenses, and transportation. Ford car dealerships near me will also offer students career guidance and training in addition to the scholarships. Ford and its car dealerships near me believe the scholarships will create job opportunities, shape the future of communities, and drive growth in the automotive industry. The program is part of Ford's philanthropic efforts to support education and workforce development.
