To Joel Fudge, NASCAR Tech represents opportunity. “Without that I would’ve never gotten the chance and opportunity to be here at Audi Northlake nor would that have opened up any other doors possible in my future,” he shares.*NASCAR Tech helped Joel turn an aspiration into reality. Through hands-on training, dedicated automotive instructors built his knowledge from the ground up, helping him gain the confidence he has today.**
Students in the Automotive Technology program at NASCAR Tech learn the fundamentals of diagnosis, repair and maintenance in just 48 weeks!*** The school’s Career Services team can even help students search for part-time roles as they complete their training.That’s how Joel ended up at Audi Northlake. “I actually got the opportunity through NASCAR Tech’s job opportunity. They have a board there where you can go and find open positions… I went there one afternoon and was able to see that hey, Audi Northlake had a part time position open at the time, and I kind of just jumped on it,” he says.
