Will You Give 10 Hours to an Auto Tech Student? [RR 823]

How can 10 hours bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace? Sue Dickson created an internship program called 'Give Me 10' that provides 10 hours at a local shop spread out over 5 days. It allows both the shop owner and student to see if the automotive industry is the right career path. This program currently serves 75 students and has collected over 458K in grants. It starts with an idea and passion for connecting students to the automotive industry. <p style="line-height: 16.5pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;color: #333333">Sue Dickson, <a href="https://closstireandauto.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Closs Tire &amp; Auto Repair Inc</a>, Waukegan, IL</span></p> <p style="line-height: 16.5pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;color: #333333">Ken Mall, Managing Director, <a href="https://www.edsisolutions.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EDSI (Educational Data Systems INC)</a></span></p> <p style="line-height: 16.5pt"><span style="font-size: 12pt;color: #333333">Jack Wilson, Automotive Service Instructor, <a href="https://www.techcampus.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lake County Tech Campus</a></span></p> Show Notes <ul> <li>“Give Me 10” Internship Program – Sue Dickson [RR 689]: <a href="https://remarkableresults.biz/remarkable-results-radio-podcast/e689/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://remarkableresults.biz/remarkable-results-radio-podcast/e689/</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.givemeten.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.givemeten.org/</a><b></b></li> <li>"Mission: <span style="font-weight: 400">To provide a work-based learning model that any industry can utilize to bridge the skills gap.
