Edison State
and Honda Team Up for Work-Study Program
Edison State Community College invites current students, high school
juniors, seniors, and their parents to learn more about the direct
pathway developed to lead students 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, February 23 from 4:00–6:00 p.m. in the
Robinson Theater of 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.
This will be the second year this opportunity has been available to
students. The program requires that students begin taking classes at
Edison State in the fall of 2017 and apply to Honda’s work-study
program in February of 2018. For additional information, contact
Veronica French by calling 937-778-7865 or emailing
