Transitioning from Military to Civilian Auto Mechanic

Transitioning from the military back to civilian life can certainly bring its own set of challenges. You may be thinking about everything that comes with the transition, whether it’s settling back home with family, sorting out things like insurance or mortgages, or getting back into a regular sleep pattern in your own bed.

Thinking about your future in the American workforce is something that certainly will cross your mind, too. Becoming an automotive technician is a great career choice for many veterans, and Automotive Training Center can prepare you for a career as one.

Becoming an Automotive Technician

Automotive TechnicianAs you depart the military, you will likely complete a Transition Readiness Program. This kind of program will provide employment assistance for veterans and their families. The program focuses on taking a proactive approach to create pertinent post-transition employment, educational, and entrepreneurial goals.

Even if you work as a military mechanic, there can be a large change in lifestyle and vehicle technology when becoming a civilian mechanic. There is a certain structure to days and nights in the military that simply won’t be replicated in post-military life.

When returning from active duty, it’s important to consider the field you wish to be in. Considering a field with high growth and job demand is something you’ll be thinking about. The automotive technician field is competitive and growing each year. Our training center also offers courses centered on diesel and marine technology.

Pursue Your Education

The Post-9/11 GI Bill is a go-to resource for any veteran looking to further their education. The Post-9/11 GI Bill may be able to cover most, if not all, of your tuition.

Benefits offered through Veterans Affairs can go beyond just tuition. These benefits can help with covering housing costs, and help you attain a low-cost business loan or mortgage, along with assistance for purchasing books and related class materials.

The military has prepared you to take on each day with a certain attitude, while strengthening discipline. Get the education and experience to prepare you for your future here at ATC. Learn more about military benefits and scholarship information by clicking here.
