Automotive Technology - Roseau Valley School


This program involves the maintenance and service of automobiles, heavy duty and agricultural equipment.  Students learn about the service, maintenance and repair of mechanical systems through classroom instruction, along with practical experience in the shop.  Students diagnose problems with motor vehicles and other equipment, and then perform the required service and repairs.

The student learns the proper use of trade related tools and equipment. Other related topics such as safety, mathematics, and science and trade technology are also covered.  Students in Section B participate in an integral work placement component which allows them the opportunity to work with skilled technicians in a workplace setting, often results in local employment opportunities and improved future employment opportunities after graduation.
