Volkswagen Academy program for High School students

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – High school students have another option to get a high paying job.

Chattanooga State Community College is teaming up the Hamilton County Department of Education and Volkswagen Chattanooga for a special program.

It’s for High School students during their final 2 years of school.

As part of the program, they earn more than 40 credit hours towards a degree in Mechatronics.

That could help the students eventually land a job at the local Volkswagen plant.

The program takes place at the Volkswagen Academy, which is located at both Chattanooga State and the local plant.
