SAE International is giving technicians and other automotive professionals a boost in this down economy by offering tuition-free educational classes at its Automotive Headquarters in Troy, Mich., during February and March.
Any unemployed automotive professional is eligible for the program. Tuition is free, but there will be a $50-per-day, per-class materials fee for non-SAE International members. SAE International members' fee is reduced to $25. Eligible professionals may attend as many classes as they like during the two-month period.
"Given the present condition of the automotive industry, we want to provide an opportunity for those engineers and allied professionals who have lost their jobs to quickly re-position themselves or bolster their resumes for re-employment," says Kevin Perry, Manager of SAE Professional Development.
To register for classes through the program, contact SAE Customer Service at (877) 606-7323. The SAE Professional Development schedule is available at www.sae.org/events/training/seminars; click on "Seminars by Date."
Individuals who attend courses that include textbooks, software packages, or SAE Standards and Papers, may opt to purchase those additional resources separately. All tuition-free seats are on a space-available basis. Webinars and e-Learning programs are not included in this program, according to SAE.
