Chrysler College Automotive Program (CAP)

Chrysler College Automotive Program (CAP)

The Chrysler College Automotive Program (CAP) is a two-year automotive program designed to provide Chrysler dealers with highly qualified and motivated entry-level technicians. The curriculum is designed by Chrysler and Southeast Community College-Milford Campus and leads to an associate degree. The program involves attending classroom lecture and laboratory experiences on Chrysler products at the Milford Campus and a unique opportunity for students to work at a Chrysler dealership.

The total program is completed in seven quarters or approximately 21 months. Four quarters are spent in college and the remaining three quarters in Chrysler sponsoring dealerships. Each specialized subject is studied in the classroom and laboratory on campus and then followed by related work experience in the dealership. For example, the first quarter involves 10 weeks at the college followed by 16 weeks of work experience in the dealership. After the dealership work experience is completed, the student returns to the college for another 10 weeks of courses, followed by 14 more weeks at the dealership. This rotation system continues until completion of the program. The work experience at the dealership should relate as much as possible to the course work just completed in college.

Since considerable time is spent at the dealership, the program requires the student to have a sponsoring Chrysler dealer. If necessary, the student can request assistance in locating a sponsoring dealer. The main responsibility of the dealership is to provide training-related employment for the student during the work experience periods.

Overview
The Chrysler program is a strategic alliance between the student, Chrysler, Chrysler dealers, and Southeast Community College. The CAP program was created to develop much needed qualified dealership technicians. This program incorporates the most advanced automotive technical training with a strong academic foundation of math, reading, electronics, analytical and technical skills.

The CAP program teaches exclusively on Chrysler products, and current products, giving the students a unique edge at the dealership. This program allows the student to get on-the-job training at a sponsoring Chrysler dealership. During the odd numbered quarters (1-3-5-7) the students are in the classroom gaining knowledge and some lab work. During the even numbered quarters (2-4-6) the student is at the dealership gaining experience and the wage the dealer will pay him.

This program is NATEF certified by Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) that is a nationally recognized organized that certifies technicians and automotive programs.
