Richland Community College Automotive Technology

One of our EV/Hybrid students. Great Job!!

GRADUATE SPOTLIGHT: Milton Leath is passionate about studying all the details of how vehicles work. In the EV/Hybrid Technician program, he has studied what makes all cars - internal combustion engine (ICE), hybrid, and electric vehicles - tick.

“The highlight of my day is coming to class because I really do enjoy learning,” he said. “[My professors] want you to dive into the program immediately with no fluff. Not a lot of places have programs directly covering EV/ Hybrid courses, so Richland is the place I want to be.”

After this semester, Milton will have both his Automative Service Excellence (ASE) certification and Richland's EV/Hybrid Technician Certificate. He's currently looking at job opportunities through connections in the EV program and outside. Congratulations!

It’s finals time!! Some donuts prepped and ready for a little brain boost.
