Southwest Wisconsin Technical College
Each year American drivers log millions of miles on the highways, and each year there are thousands of accidents that will require the service of a trained technician to repair these vehicles. The Auto Collision Repair & Refinish program teaches students to examine vehicles to determine type and extent of damaged parts, both cosmetic and structural. This program is fast-paced and intensive, as today's complex vehicles are constructed with high strength steel, plastics and computer systems. During the year, the student learns mig welding, straightening techniques, proper use of plastic fillers, surface preparation, and refinishing techniques. This program is certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Education Foundation. Show More

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
