Red Kap joined with WIX Filters and O’Reilly Auto Parts to sponsor the 2014 School of the Year award from Tomorrow’s Tech Magazine. In a surprise ceremony in late October, Owensboro Community & Technical College was named the seventh recipient of the annual program to find and name the best technician training school in the country.
“We pride ourselves on building an automotive program that provides our students with the skills and advanced training necessary for careers in an industry that is constantly evolving,” said Lewis Nall, auto and diesel program coordinator at OCTC. As the 2014 School of the Year, the school’s automotive program received:
- $2,500 donation to the school’s Automotive Technology program from WIX Filters
- Uniform for every student from Red Kap
- Merchandise from O’Reilly and WIX Filters
- Travel for the school’s instructor and a guest to Las Vegas to attend a recognition dinner at AAPEX
