Meet a young technician: Angel Deleon
Meet Angel Deleon, a rookie technician in Houston, Texas. Angel shares his thoughts about his career in the automotive industry so far, and what support he is looking for as a young technician.
Motor Age is partnering with TechForce Foundation to share profiles and perspectives of young automotive technicians who are in the early days of their careers.
What are the key challenges you've faced as a technician, and how can the industry better support techs?
I had a hard time getting the right tools for school and work. It’s a challenge to avoid expensive purchases and, at the same time, ensure the tools I do have will last me a good long while. A lot of new technicians face this problem. The industry should stop gatekeeping and help the younger generation more.
