The Texarkana Independent School District and Todd Shores McLarty Ford are teaming up to help out the students at Texas High.
The school district has been named as an “OFFICIAL” Ford Motor Company Technician Training Program. Tiger students are now gaining hands-on experience in the classroom and as interns at Todd Shores McLarty Ford.
The Ford Automotive Career Exploration program provides Ford-specific training that gives interns a stable and lucrative career path with potential opportunities to become a Master Tech, Shop Foreman, Service Manager or ever a General Manager.
The donation of two vehicles to Texas High School, will be used by students within nine CTE Plan of Studies Sequenced Courses. To find out more about the ACE Program click here.
TISD Superintendent Paul Norton had this to say about the program, “The future of industry and manufacturing growth in our area is going to be dependent upon a skilled and ready workforce.”
Todd Shores added, “I love what this program is doing for our dealership now and going forward. This program is a win-win for everyone. We are thankful to be partners with Ford Motor Company, Texarkana ISD, and our community.”
