Diesel technology is the definition of hands-on. So get ready to get your hands a little (or a lot) dirty! Students learn to repair engines and troubleshoot electrical systems using tools and workspaces that mimic those at dealerships. Ladies, listen up: diesel technology jobs are not for men only. STC makes it a point to introduce women to its technical programs by hosting Women in Technology events. Attend one and you’ll get to talk to current diesel tech students about what they do and why they love it. Can’t make it to an event? You can read student stories on STC News. For example, Alyssa Hernandez chose diesel technology to do something she loves—work with her hands. She now has the skills to repair complex engines and drive a big rig. Students who work hard in the program may have opportunities to earn scholarships. In 2014, Grainger Industrial Supply gave $2,000 awards to two outstanding students. They also received top-of-the-line toolkits to use on the job. Technically speaking, STC helps students put the pedal to the medal and power up their career potential.
