Los Angeles Candidates in The 2009 Election
L.A. Community College Board Trustee Angela J. Reddock has initiated what she believes will lead to the eventual launch of a new state-of-the-art, high tech automotive job training facility for the servicing, maintenance and repair of hybrid and plug-in electric cars and trucks, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
For minority students and those seeking job opportunities in today's economy, this is the type of leadership that more elected officials should be demonstrating.
Ms. Reddock said, “Fuel efficient, low emission hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles are the top choice for many motorists. The job market for skilled technicians to service hybrids and plug-in vehicles is expected to grow tremendously as domestic and foreign automakers – at the urging of the federal government – make a major shift to manufacturing green vehicles. L.A.’s community colleges are an ideal place to train hybrid and plug-in electric auto service technicians.”
“Today’s green vehicle service and repair is high tech. Our college students need to keep pace with the latest in automotive service of hybrid and plug-in electric cars and trucks. That means building and equipping a facility that can train hundreds of green auto service technicians each year. GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, and Honda are ideal partners for our community colleges as the world’s automakers restructure their vehicle lines to produce and sell more green cars in California and across the country,” Ms. Reddock said.
