• Rhode Island Future Farmers of America, Tractor Restoration Project - The Tractor Restoration Project is part of a national competition sponsored by Delo Tractor, a division of Chevron Oil.

This program allows students to learn the mechanics of tractor restoration, as well as teamwork and responsibility.
• Exeter-West Greenwich High School - EWG High School has a program as part of their regular schooling to help students who need guidance through their high school career. As part of this program, one of the students from the school has been placed at our facility to learn about the automotive industry. The student spends two days a week shadowing a technician and learning their job, helping to determine if this industry sparks their interest.
• Southern Rhode Island Collaborative Education and Training Center - SORICO is a state agency that works with school districts in Southern Rhode Island to help student achievement through placements in entrepreneurial settings, and is similar to the program at EWG High School.
