Edison State Community College
Edison and
Honda to Provide a Work-Study Program
High School Juniors, Seniors, and Parents Invited to Attend Information
Session
Edison State Community College invites high school juniors, seniors,
and their parents to learn more about the direct pathway developed to
lead into a manufacturing career at Honda. This work-study program
allows students to earn a two–year degree and possibly be debt–free
upon completion. An information session will be held Thursday, April 14
from6:30-7:30 p.m. in rooms 504/505 on the Piqua campus.
Equipment Service Technicians are currently in demand at Honda and
require technical and analytical skills to identify and solve problems
quickly. The Edison State to Honda Manufacturing Pathway program will
help prepare students with the skills needed to take on these in demand
roles.
The new program is available to students who opt to pursue an Associate
of Applied Science degree in Electronics Engineering Technology with a
concentration in Electro-Mechanical or Automation and Robotics at
Edison State.
Participating students will be able to earn a two-year degree in
engineering, while working part time at Honda. Students will attend
classes two days a week and work three days a week. If grade point
average and work performance is maintained they will be eligible to
receive a pay increase every semester. Participants in the program will
make more than $16 per hour, and those who go on to full-time
employment will start at more than $53,000 per year.
The program requires that students begin taking classes at Edison State
in the fall of 2016 and apply to Honda’s work-study program in February
of 2017. Pre-register to attend by April 4, 2016 by visiting
