Hands-on learning in action at our Chicopee campus!
Our Automotive students are gaining real-world experience by removing and inspecting heater cores in the shop cars. From looking up repair instructions to removing dashboards, accessing the heater box, and reinstalling components, students are building the technical skills and confidence needed for today’s automotive industry.
This is what hands-on training looks like at Porter and Chester Institute — preparing students for the road ahead, one repair at a time.
