The Ford AAA Auto Skills Competition is a nationwide contest for junior and senior high school students. The objective of the competition is to encourage talented young people to pursue careers as automotive service technicians. Qualifying students take a state online exam and the top ten highest scoring teams are invited to attend an all expenses paid trip to Baltimore. The late spring event will consist of a formal celebration banquet and state final hands-on competition. New Ford vehicles are uniformly "bugged" to ensure each team has identical malfunctions to diagnose and repair. The competition requires students to repair the vehicles with the highest quality workmanship in the least amount of time. For the fourth consecutive year, Worcester Technical High School will send an outstanding team to the Ford AAA Auto Skills State Finals! Congratulations and good luck to Brandon Burkhard and Justin Green!
