A CAREER IN

MONSTER JAM®

Turn your passion for motorsports and Monster Trucks into a career at the #1 University in the world for high performance, automotive, and diesel technicians - the University of Northwestern Ohio. Monster Jam® and UNOH have teamed up to help you get the inside scoop on turning your love of all things powerful into a potential career in Monster Jam®! UNOH has had graduates working for Monster Jam® as crew members, crew chiefs, and even a backup driver over the years. YOU could be next!

The school is top notch, it’s a 10 out of 10. Classes I took helps me every day. Accessory trends helps with body issues, it shows us fiberglass work, how to repair small things. Customs class, our high-performance drive lines class and steering and suspension, hydraulics, everything. These trucks roll over a lot and with my UNOH education, I know we can get all the repairs done quickly and correctly. If I didn’t come to UNOH, I wouldn’t have the knowledge going into Monster Jam® that I do now.”

-NEKO LOYAL, MONSTER JAM® CREW CHIEF & UNOH GRADUATE

MONSTER JAM® DRIVERS

When I first started driving Monster Energy®, I had a mechanic from UNOH. Halfway through the season, we ended up throwing him into the crew chief position and he did a great job. We ended up winning the championship! As a driver, my number one priority is my safety. Number two is your crew chief. Having my crew chief come from UNOH made a huge difference. As a driver, that’s where you get all your confidence. When you have a great running machine, thanks to the work of your technicians, you can drive it like it’s number one.”

TODD LEDUC, DRIVER MONSTER ENERGY® MONSTER JAM® TRUCK

The students that study highperformance motorsports at UNOH are above all. I can promise you that. There is no other school like UNOH. I’ve always loved horsepower, crazy racing. And UNOH embraces every area of that. For a driver, there is only one thing that’s almost as important as a good truck. That’s a good technician.

Knowing the extensive training and all the hard work that goes into each and every student at UNOH, it’s the only place in the world that I know I could go to and get a good technician for Monster Jam®.”

RYAN ANDERSON, DRIVER SON-UVA DIGGER® MONSTER JAM® TRUCK

My crew chief is a UNOH graduate and he’s doing a great job. Our trucks are so technically-advanced these days, and we need technicians that are capable and knowledgeable. After learning about the rigorous training at UNOH, the students that come out of that program are so polished. They’re so good at what they do. They have a great work ethic, and we appreciate them being involved with Monster Jam®. Without a doubt, this training that these students receive at UNOH will definitely help them become top-notch technicians.”

HIGH PERFORMANCE MOTORSPORTS

IS IT YOUR DREAM TO WORK ON A RACE TEAM OR WORK IN A PERFORMANCE MACHINE SHOP? At UNOH we’re serious about racing. Earn your degree at our 7-acre High Performance Motorsports Complex complete with cutting edge technology and equipment.

I would highly recommend UNOH for High Perfomance Motorsports.

You could come into UNOH with knowing nothing and come out of UNOH knowing a lot. They’re there to teach you from ground zero.”

STUDENTS ARE TAUGHT USING THE MOST MODERN EQUIPMENT from Snap-On, Hunter, Sunnen, and many more. We update our curriculum to stay current with the latest trends from all the O.E.M. and aftermarket equipment manufacturers.

AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY

I would absolutely recommend UNOH to anyone, especially if you have experience in racing and you want to get a degree in it. Even if you don’t have any experience and you want to learn, I recommend it. Everyone knows UNOH is a big name and it’s a pretty good representation to have behind yourself.”

DIESEL TECHNOLOGY

CHOOSE BETWEEN MEDIUM/ HEAVY DUTY, LIGHT DUTY , OR DATE TRACKS WITHIN THE DIESEL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM AT UNOH. Train in our live engine room, on our diesel dynos, and learn many other skills to prepare you for this high-demand career!

There’s always a high demand for diesel, especially in today’s world where everything’s ran off diesel and that’s just the moneymaker.

The things I enjoy in some of my diesel classes is how hands-on the classes are. I love that the teachers are always one on one with you. If you have a question, they will go out of their way to help you out.

Because there’s only 15 to 20 kids in a class, it makes life so much easier than spending class with 50 kids, trying to learn one thing at a time.”

THE DAYS OF WORKING ON EQUIPMENT WITH HAND TOOLS IS A THING OF THE PAST. This worldwide industry is in need of qualified

technicians! Train with the same equipment found in service centers and dealerships across the nation!

AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT TECHNOLOGY

The university definitely goes above and beyond what they’ve actually taught us. You can learn a little bit at your high school, but once you actually get in here dealing with some of the different instructors, some of their backgrounds, some of the fields they’ve worked in, they have so much knowledge to give students.”

ROBOTICS & AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY

WITH THIS UNOH DEGREE YOU’LL BE MORE THAN JUST AN OPERATOR, you’ll learn to install, repair, upgrade, and test electronic and computer controlled mechanical systems for a variety of industries!

We go from programming to maintenance to literally designing digital touchscreens. It’s a lot of stuff and we go through many different job opportunities that are out there in the robotics field.

When I pull apart these big robots I’m like, “Wow, this is awesome.”

And I want to go into my job and be excited to be there every day.

So if I’m going to be excited about something I might as well make that my career.”

ALTERNATE FUELS TECHNOLOGY IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CAREERS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. High demand for these types of technicians

translates into job security for you!

ALTERNATE FUELS TECHNOLOGY

With the Alternate Fuels program you learn the basics on how to set up and diagnose and assist with all these different fuel types which is what today’s modern trends are as manufacturers try to get emission levels down. It’s a great opportunity with all the new technology coming out to be able to learn how to set newer fuel systems up on older vehicles, and be able to diagnose and repair the new vehicles with the alternate fuel systems already built in.”

HVAC/R TECHNOLOGY

WANT A HOT CAREER WITH A COOL PAYOFF? There is predicted to be a 12% job growth rate in the HVAC/R field by 2022, resulting in 136,400 job openings! At UNOH learn about the latest in HVAC/R technology including solar and wind power!

Here at UNOH, they have such a variety of older and newer equipment that you’re getting to see the whole envelope, not just the new stuff, but the old stuff that’s still out there and will still be out there for another 15 to 20 years.

So it’s a great learning process to be exposed to both sides and not just the new stuff that everyone’s trying to push or sell.”

LEARN THE INS AND OUTS OF MOTORSPORTS FROM THE BUSINESS SIDE! PR, Marketing, Social Media Management, Sponsor Acquisition, and more. If you have a passion for all things motorsports, we can get you into that front office with training from some of the best in the business.

MOTORSPORTS MARKETING

What caught my attention about UNOH was definitely the Motorsports Marketing program.

It was a program that I hadn’t seen offered anywhere else, and I grew up in the motorsports world racing dirt bikes, and I knew I wanted to stay in it. I just didn’t know how yet. Seeing this program at UNOH made me figure out my career path and where I wanted to go. In class we learn everything about the sanctioning body class, where you learn about NASCAR and ARCA, and the organizations that create the rules, to the event planning class where we get to learn how to put on events and even a sponsorship class which are all things you need to know to be successful in motorsports marketing.”
