RCC Students Gain Real Life Experience at Petty’s Garage

Five Randolph Community College students participated in a unique job-shadowing experience recently thanks to a new agreement between RCC and Petty’s Garage, Richard Petty’s high performance speed shop in Level Cross. Three Automotive Systems Technology students and two Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology students spent a week working alongside the technicians at Petty’s Garage. RCC has been affiliated with the Richard Petty brand since its state-of-the-art automotive training center was named the Richard Petty Education Center when it opened in 2009.

“RCC is delighted to extend our partnership with Richard Petty and his organization,” said RCC President Robert S. Shackleford Jr. “What an exciting opportunity to have students in RCC’s Richard Petty Education Center participate in an internship at Petty’s Garage in Level Cross. I am extremely pleased with this relationship.”
