Employment

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

Our students typically know 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 these days are either morning, afternoon, or evening. We have classes from 8:00 am to 11 am. or 1 pm to 5 pm or 6 pm to 10 pm.

Note to Employers

We often get calls and emails from employers in June and July 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 between 2 and 18 months before their May graduation date. If you can manage to work with a student part-time for a year, they know how you like things done and turn into wonderful employees by the time they graduate.
