CLINTON, Tenn. — Ray Varner, along with executives from Ford Motor Company’s Atlanta region stopped by and left Anderson County Career and Technical Center (ACCTC) with Anderson County Schools the keys to a 2013 Ford Focus SE. The vehicle was chosen to be donated in order for students with ACCTC to disassemble and reassemble as part of skill training in Auto Mechanic Maintenance and Repairs.
Part of ACCTC’s vision is to “empower students to become leaders, independent thinkers and lifelong learners.” The vehicle will be used for years to come to help the program teach skills and allow hands-on training as part of the Vision of the program.
“Ray Varner Ford has always valued Anderson County Career and Technical Center and the incredible job they do for the youth in our area,” says Ray Varner, President of Ray Varner Ford. “We’ve had several employees over the years come out of ACCTC and I’ve always been impressed with their level of skill and the work ethic these young men and women have shown. I’m thrilled to partner with Ford Motor Company to make this happen.”
In addition to Ray Varner, Ray Varner Ford was represented by John Miller, Parts and Service Director and representatives from Ford Motor Company included Willie Houston, Atlanta Region Field Engineer and Ed Wigginton, Atlanta Region Marketing Specialist.
