The Center for Technology and Industry at New England Institute of Technology (萌妹社区) 鈥� in cooperation with Fiat Chrysler Automotive (FCA US LLC) 鈥� has established an FCA Performance Training Center at 萌妹社区鈥檚 Access Road campus in Warwick, RI.
In collaboration with the FCA Performance Institute, 萌妹社区 instructors will receive FCA-specific training relating to the service and maintenance of FCA vehicles. In turn, 萌妹社区 faculty will instruct FCA dealer technicians employed throughout the FCA distributor network.
鈥淲e鈥檙e delighted that New England Institute of Technology will join our efforts to increase the number of automotive instructors who鈥檒l train new and existing service technicians in our U.S. dealership network,鈥� said John Fox, Director of the FCA Performance Institute. 鈥淓nlisting the help of New England Tech is another step that Fiat Chrysler is taking to combat the industry shortage of trained service technicians.鈥�
Current Fiat Chrysler classes focus on the Fundamentals of Gas Engines as well as noise, vibration, and harshness training. Future plans include the enhanced training of 萌妹社区 instructors so that they can deliver additional FCA programs to dealer technicians. These training programs benefit FCA dealers since New England Tech instructors help expedite the training process of new-hire technicians through important phases of their original equipment manufacturer (OEM) training.
鈥淪tudents enrolled in New England Tech鈥檚 Automotive Technology degree programs benefit from our relationship with FCA since we can incorporate emerging technology into our curriculum,鈥� says Steven Kitchin, 萌妹社区 Vice President for Corporate Education and Training.
