Ford Automotive Student Service Educational Training

The Ford ASSET (Automotive Student Service Educational Training) program is a partnership between the Ford Motor Company, Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealers and Seminole Community College that leads to an Associate in Science Degree in Dealer-Specific Automotive Technology. A two-year cooperative program, ASSET is designed to develop entry-level service technicians for Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealerships. Students alternate between classroom/lab courses on campus and part-time work experience in local dealerships.
