Four local businesses donated matching shirts for the students in the automotive program at Maxwell High School of Technology.
From Keith Farner’s article on the Gwinnett Daily Post website:
Walk into the automotive services area at Maxwell High School of Technology and it might as well be any number of automotive businesses around Gwinnett.
Dressed in four sets of matching shirts, about half with their name on a chest patch on a buttoned down shop shirt, and any of the students could pass as local professional mechanics or technicians.
For teachers at Maxwell, and local businesses who serve on the school’s advisory council, that’s the idea.
“The whole deal is to look like a technician, feel like a technician, model the industry,” said Max Chavex, an auto services teacher at Maxwell. “So (we are) making the transition from school to industry really similar. They’re representing the company. They’re the face of automotive now.”
Four local automotive businesses — Jim Ellis Buick GMC Mall of Georgia, Nash Chevrolet, Hennessy Automotive Group and Fenski Automotive — donated T-shirts and shop shirts for the students to wear as they work on cars in their automotive services classes at Maxwell. The shirts went to three classes and 150 students.
