“As the Premier ASEP College in New England, LRCC’s GM-ASEP program is second to none,” says Professor Parker, Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) National Teacher of the Year, a veteran of more than 25 years in the automotive industry. “Graduates say it all. More than 250 are successfully employed in high paying technical jobs throughout New England and the country.”
Since the inception of the GM-ASEP partnership with General Motors Corporation, GM New England dealerships, NH Automotive Education Foundation and Lakes Region Community College, 100% placement of graduates has occurred. GM has provided more than $l,000,000 in state-of-the-art vehicles and equipment to Laconia’s GM-ASEP program.
