Beginning Fall 2023, PSAT Academy will offer five exciting CTE pathways designed to jumpstart career interest and training for middle school and high school students. Cultivating and sustaining the development, creativity, imagination and sustainable career interest in our youth is the future of America. This is only the beggining of the PSAT CTE marathon. In the years to come, through strategic educational and cooperative partnerships, we hope to expand on our CTE offerings in the future to nuture the interest of more youth, as well as the ever changing global economy.
Electric Vehicle Technician Certification Pathway
Complete EV Curriculum covering all aspects of EV technology
Students will learn the basic technologies of an EV by installing them on both a test bench and a vehicle
Students will work with new personal protective equipment (PPE) and tooling required to build, maintain and service EVs
Stuentes will work with a variety of EV products to understand how new and differing technologies change an electric vehicles’s perfomance and efficiency.
Sudents will learn and practice safety, system fitment and configuration, EV system wiring and mounting, EV programming, EV testing and EV tuning
Students that complete the EV curriculum will have an opportunity to test and obtain their EV Technician Certification. EV technicians make and average of $58,000/yr.
There are several areas within the EV field to go on and explore, like battery design, EV fleet mangament, EV diagnostics and performance specialist, EV motor design specialist,electrical engineer, etc.
