SCHOHARIE – One could make the argument that Cobleskill-Richmondville senior Brodie Merwin was “exhausted” after completing a recent project at the Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical Education Center - Schoharie Campus.
Merwin, a student in the Automotive Trades Technology program, recently completed a custom exhaust package for a car by welding parts together.
Upon graduation later this year, Merwin plans to work in a local autobody shop before “hopefully opening my own shop one day.”
“I like working on cars, obviously, but I also like being able to work with my hands, using the tools, and being able to make my own customizations,” Merwin said.
Merwin is among more than 100 students enrolled in the Automotive Trades Technology program on the Schoharie and Albany campuses.
Students in the two-year program learn everything from computerized diagnostics to hands-on repairs while gaining the skills to service and maintain all types of cars and light trucks. Students are prepared to enter industry or pursue higher education and earn professional certifications that will aid them no matter the path they choose.
