SUBURU-U TRAINING PROGRAM – Alihk Robinson

Alihk Robinson a 12th grade Bullard-Havens automotive student has been hired by Garavel Subaru in Norwalk under Work Based Learning and the new Subaru U training program. Subaru-U is designed to create a unique partnership between Subaru of America, the retailer, and high performing ASE Education Foundation accredited secondary and post-secondary schools.

Bullard-Havens Automotive is only 1 of 3 ASE accredited CTECS schools in the state. By infusing Subaru’s Web-Based Training (WBT) into the existing curriculum, students have the ability to take most of the entry-level training that is required of all Subaru technicians. Students that are apprenticed at a Subaru retailer and participating instructors are also eligible for additional training through Subaru. Retailers have the ability to take an active role with their local partner schools in shaping the technicians of tomorrow. There is no cost to the student to participate in this program.In the pictures, he is shown with Service Manager Tony Cornelio, who along with owner Jeremy Garavel are glad to have Alihk aboard. Jeff LeClair representing Subaru-U has been instrumental in this partnership.

Garavel Subaru is also donating a vehicle for instruction to the Bullard-Havens automotive program to help build more students like Alihk!
