I am considering a couple schools but I am not sure whether it would be best to go to a technical school or a community college? Can you advise me please?

I am from GM, but Ford is a similar company. Ford hires assembly workers who are trained by them, but to be a Technician who have two more ways to do so depending upon your choice.
1. You can go to a community college for a two year program in computers, electrician, plumbing, heating and cooling and many similar program
2. The other approach is to join an apprentice ship program by calling a union office for the above trades
These are some of my thoughts.

Hi Matthew , Best to start with some high school mechanics followed by a two year college certificate if you can get it. Often you can get employment in the business at a lube shop, dealership, or independent repair facility to start and work your way up. During that time you can study and work on your ASE/NATEF certifications that qualify you to work in most any shop. Most car manufacturers offer apprenticeships if you work for their dealers. Together with on the job training you will become a well rounded automotive technician. Like anything else in life if you want it you can get it.
