Ford AAA Competition

SLCC Automotive & Related Technologies will host the annual Ford AAA Competition on Thursday, April 26.  


Salt Lake Community College has hosted the Ford AAA Student Auto Skills Competition since the 1970’s.  (In those days it was known as the Plymouth Troubleshooting Contest.) 

This year, 362 of the  best and brightest 11th or 12th grade auto technology students from 24 of Utah high schools took the state qualifying exam for the honor of being  one of the ten, 2 person teams to compete in the State “hands-on” contest.  
In the "hands-on" competition, new Ford Motor Company vehicles were uniformly "bugged" so that each team has identical malfunctions to diagnose and repair.  The competition requires repairs to be made with the highest quality workmanship in the lowest total time.
The winning two-person team from each state and their instructor are provided expense-paid trips (paid by Ford & AAA) to the national finals in June 2012 in addition to thousands of dollars in tools and in scholarship offers.

SLCC’s objective in hosting the competition is to encourage talented young people to pursue careers as automotive service technicians after they graduate from Salt Lake Community College in Automotive or Related Technologies.

The agenda:

Wednesday, April 25 6:30pm – Welcome dinner KGMC at Miller Campus.  

Thursday, April 26 9:30 to 11:00 am – Competiton – Miller Campus between MATC and MFEC west of KGMC.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H.
