Employment

Las Positas College Automotive Department would like to connect automotive students with employers. We are looking for employers who are willing to take a student with limited experience and teach them what it is like to work in a shop and perform quality work in a timely manner.

Our students typically have the knowledge but lack experience and confidence. Our students attend automotive training four to five days a week: classes run Monday to Thursday and Saturday. Class sessions on these days are either morning, afternoon or evening. We have classes from 8:00 AM to 11am. or 1pm to 5pm or 6pm to 10pm.

Note to Employers

We often get calls and emails from employers in June and July who are looking for a graduate student to employ. By this time all of our students are on summer break and most of our graduates have already been working part time for the past 2 - 18 months. Most of them will be going to work full time with their current employer. The best time to find a graduate is sometime between 2 and 18 months before their May graduation date. If you can manage to work with a student part time for a year by the time they graduate they know how you like things done and turn into wonderful employees.

If you are an employer and would like to have you job posted or come and talk with our students please contact Brian Hagopian.
