As Edison Tech Inventors we invented a new way to recruit students last year during the pandemic. Through the use of an official recruitment site for students and families, we reinvented how to attract tomorrows Inventors.

This year Edison is reinventing the classic Field Trip. The Trucking Association of New York (TANY) will be holding a three day event exposing students to career opportunities as diesel mechanics.

Over the three days TANY will involve multiple students in discovery and interactive classroom lessons. Students in the Auto Technology classes will participate in hands on lessons involving brake systems, electrical systems, and overall diesel engine orientation.

Students in the Manufacturing Pathway, NYSAA, and Freshman CTE students will also have the opportunity to visit with individual companies looking to hire and train students. They will be able to get in, touch the trucks and engines, as well as experience a 3-D driving simulator!

The Digital Media Pathway will be covering the event with both live video hits, social media posts, pictures, and more. They will work with local news media to highlight the event and the reinventing of the classic field trip.

We can't wait to have multiple student groups visit with TANY members, experience classroom lessons, and career opportunities. All this without leaving the Edison Tech Campus! Keep your eyes open for the trucks arriving outside our Automotive rooms September 28th-30th!
