March 8th the automotive department of NCC will hold their automotive skills trouble shooting contest. Six finalist teams who achieved their place through a written exam last fall will compete in multiple hands on events to vie for a 1st, 2nd or 3rd place trophy and prizes. All students will receive an NCC auto tech shirt, swag provided by Dorman Products, and have a chance at a scholarship to the first place team. Each competing team consisting of two competitors will engage in diagnosis of the following six areas and systems:

Student teams will be coming from Wallenpaupack High School, Berks Career & Technology Center East, Middle Bucks Institute of Technology, Bethlehem Area Vocational Technical School, Tunkhannock Area High School and Lancaster County Career & technology.
An award banquet will be held beginning at 4pm for the teams, instructors and guests. Additionally the winning school will get a vehicle donation. We look forward to the event as a community partner to our CTE schools. With the ever changing technological advancements to the transportation industry we need to have more professional and knowledgeable technicians. These competitions showcase skills and foster success for future technicians to keep our industry and county moving. Congratulations to our modern day craftsman.
