Changes for auto classes
Courtney O’Byrne

In order to meet the National
Automotive
Technicians
EducationFoundation’s require
ments and keep their accredita
tion, the Clackamas automotive
department has expanded their
Winter Term brakes and chas
sis class.
The class will still meet
twice a week from 7:30 a.m.
to 2:50 p.m., but will now be
worth seven credits, instead of
just four. The first half of the
term focuses on brake systems
while the second focuses on
chassis.
“We’ve wanted to change
for a long time - maybe 10 or
12 years - but weren’t allowed
to because of credit numbers,”
full-time Instructor Nick Miller
said. “We met with the cur
riculum committee to make
the brakes class a seven-credit,
two-day class.”
The NATEF tells Clackamas
what they need to be teaching
to adequately prepare automo
tive students for ASE certifica
tion.
Completing
Clackamas’
automotive program counts as
one year toward ASE certi
fication, and participating in
CWE can count as the second.
Before the expansion most stu
dents didn’t have enough time
to cover important systems like
steering and four-wheel drive.
Students weren’t getting
quite enough out of the align-

were about 20 students for

Because of such obstacles
the Clackamas Automotive
Department has been creating
additional classes to supple

Thanks to the ASG’s new
clothes closet drive struggling
students will now be able to
wear snazzy, professional
looking clothes to job inter
views.
The ASG held the drive from
Nov. 14 - 18, and brought in
five bags of clothing. Although
officers said the outcome of
the drive wasn’t as impressive
as expected, the event got the
word out about other clothing
drives to come.
Clothes Closet Senator
Hillary Fletcher planned and
led the event, which was ini
tiated in order to help the
Work Force in Action students
acquire appropriate clothing
for interviews and first days at
work. Work Force in Action is

more than willing to write out
receipts for tax returns.
“We want to do a few big
drives to really get awareness
out to the staff and students ...
and we will take shoes!” said
Kimmel.
The ASG has yet to decide
how the clothing will be dis
tributed, though they are con
sidering creating an applica
tion process to see who gets
the clothes.

officers with any questions at
their office in the Bill Brod

Senator Tiffany Kimmel is
glad that students and staff
showed such interest in the
event.
“Eventually, we hope to
accept all clothing and be able
to help all students,” Kimmel
said. “We thought it’d be a
great way to help students
young and old.”
The desired items of cloth
ing are articles appropriate for
interviews, as well as less-for

at new jobs. Right now the
greatest need for office wear
is in the young adult category.
