The $10,000 grant from Ingersoll Rand "Real Tools for Schools" program will improve classrooms and upgrade equipment for students.
Ingersoll Rand recently awarded Warren County Technical School a $10,000 grant to fund improvements to the school's automotive vocational program.
As a Real Tools for Schools grant recipient, Warren County Technical School, which also co-hosts an automotive associate program with Warren County Community College, used the funds for both improvements to the automotive classrooms as well as courses with updated equipment, supplies, instructor training and curricula.
Warren County Technical School, which has been offering an automotive program for several years, joined with WCCC three years ago to add an associate degree element to its automotive technology curriculum.
In addition to the four years of high school automotive training the high school offers its students, Warren County Technical School offers WCCC's Associate of Applied Science Automotive Technology program, as well. Both automotive programs are taught in the automotive shop located at Warren County Technical School.
