"They're looking for technicians out there because, there are a bunch of mechanics out there, but not enough technicians who went to school for this," said HCC student Erick Chavez. "Immediately, I have an advantage over everybody else."
Some certifications, like the one for Maintenance & Light Repair Level I, take less than a year to complete.
