AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY
Although women make up just about a quarter of the automotive industry, Genesis Andino is determined to shift those odds. A high school student studying at a West-MEC campus, Genesis is not only breaking barriers but blazing a trail for others to follow.
From an early age, Genesis was fascinated by cars. Thanks to the Career and Technical Education programs offered at West-MEC, Genesis found the perfect place to turn her passion into real skills.
BLAZING HER TRAIL IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY
“The program is amazing for a high school level,” Andino said. “It provides a lot of hands-on knowledge. Sometimes, I forget I just turned 18, and I am doing this. It’s just amazing.”
In a world where the automotive field is still largely male-dominated, Genesis Andino is a testament to how Career and Technical Education can empower students to rewrite the story — one wrench turn at a time. STUDENT SPOTLIGHT SHIFTING
Over her time at West-MEC, she’s earned five automotive credentials. From mastering diagnostic tools to performing repairs, Genesis has absorbed hands-on knowledge that only hands-on learning could provide. This immersive West-MEC experience gave her the opportunity to compete in a NASCAR competition.
Career and Technical Education is powerful because it bridges the gap between classroom learning and workforce readiness. For students like Genesis, it transforms ambition into actionable skills, opening doors to unique industries.

INNOVATION IN ACTION
EXPERTS GUIDING THE NEXT GENERATION
Instructors with industry experience bring invaluable real-world knowledge to Career and Technical Education (CTE) schools. They understand the latest tools, technologies, and workplace challenges, ensuring students learn skills that are directly applicable to their chosen fields. Their firsthand insights help bridge the gap between theory and practice, making lessons more relevant and engaging. These instructors can share industry best practices, safety standards, and professional expectations, preparing students for smooth transitions into the workforce. Additionally, their connections often open doors for apprenticeships, internships, and job opportunities, making them essential mentors who truly prepare students for successful careers. At West-MEC, a majority of instructors have years of experience directly in the industry in which they teach.
A great example of this is Physical Therapy instructor JD Burgess, who was able to bring one-of-a-kind technology into his program. This year, West-MEC acquired the Reax Run and Reax Board made by Reaxing, a neuromuscular training equipment company based out of Milan, Italy, for its Physical Therapy program. West-MEC’s Physical Therapy program is the first CTE program to use this technology in its curriculum in the United States.
The Reax Run, a treadmill that performs sudden and unpredictable tilting in all directions, is the only one of its kind in the world. The treadmill recreates the feeling of running in a natural environment and was developed for the dual purpose of injury prevention and
performance. Reax Board uses the same sudden dynamic impulse technology to encourage the user to consistently adapt and to amplify the user’s muscular, sensory and nervous activity. This innovative technology leads to increased reaction rate and coordination, improved motor skills, greater muscle engagement, improved neural activity and better injury recovery and rehabilitation compared to its standard counterparts, all while keeping the user in a safe environment.
“This is a real game-changer, not only for my class but for sports training, injury rehab, and physical therapy in general,” said West-MEC Physical Therapy Instructor JD Burgess. “The only reason everyone in the industry doesn’t own this yet is because they don’t know it exists. Once someone in our industry sees this, they will want to incorporate it immediately in the clinical setting.”
West-MEC obtained this latest technology thanks to its industry partnership with Prime Reaction, the leading industry representative for Reaxing in North America.
Professional athletes and members of the Italian military have been the primary users of Reax’s innovative technology thus far. WestMEC is among the first institutions to utilize these devices for medical and physical therapy, pushing the boundaries of what can be done with this equipment.

At West-MEC, our students aren’t just learning, they’re preparing for thriving careers. By mastering technical skills, earning certifications, and gaining hands-on experience, West-MEC graduates are future-ready and highly sought after by our industry partners.
Industry partnerships are at the heart of West-MEC’s mission. They not only strengthen our programs but also create a direct pipeline between education and employment. The more industry partners we bring on board, the more opportunities open up for students to transition seamlessly from classroom training into rewarding careers.
During the 2024–25 school year, West-MEC welcomed new partners and strengthened existing relationships. These collaborations highlighted a common theme: employers value WestMEC students for their preparedness, professionalism, and ability to contribute from day one.
I’m very confident hiring West-MEC students because I think they’re grounded and success-driven. You can’t ask for anything else. They are much more detail-oriented, more focused, they ask the right questions, and they’re more trainable. They’re sponges, and to me that’s the best.” Bill Nash, Owner of Nash Powersports

BUILDING SKILLS FOR EVERY STAGE OF LIFE
At West-MEC, we believe there is no age limit to learning. Career and Technical Education (CTE) provides pathways for adults to continue their education, reskill, or embark on a new career at any stage of life.
The need has never been greater. A recent World Economic Forum study projects that by 2025, half of all employees worldwide will need to upskill or reskill to stay competitive in the workforce. CTE offers that opportunity—whether for individuals seeking flexibility outside of traditional higher education or for those looking to access high-paying, in-demand careers.
West-MEC’s Adult Education programs are designed with flexibility in mind, supporting learners who balance jobs, families, and other commitments. Students benefit from hands-on instruction led by industry professionals, gaining real-world experience while developing skills that translate directly into the workplace.
The impact is clear. Research from Lightcast shows that adults who return to school are 22% more likely to achieve upward career mobility. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, CTE certifications can lead to positions with average salaries between $40,000 and $77,000—with continued education further raising earning potential.
WORKPLACE IMMERSION, REAL-WORLD IMPACT
Project SEARCH is an international program model that empowers young adults with disabilities to successfully transition from school to adult life. Through this program, participants gain relevant, marketable skills that prepare them for meaningful employment in the community.
The program is structured as a year-long, unpaid internship based entirely within a host business. This full workplace immersion fosters learning through hands-on experiences, continuous feedback, and guided skill development. Interns acquire not only technical abilities but also the professional and social skills needed to thrive in competitive employment.
The ultimate goal is clear: for every intern to secure meaningful, competitive work upon completing the program.
