“Hi everybody , I am excited to say I have just graduated from the Automotive Training Centre with honors. In Dispatching and Transportation Operations.

I was first introduced to the school by Work Safe B.C. and at that time I was into my 9th year of a very severe low back injury I felt would never ever get better,and felt I was being pushed into a situation designed to fail from the start, but with the help from Work Safe BC my Dr.’s and the Cooperation of the Automotive Training Centre I am walking tall with a very much improved outlook on life and an improved injury situation too.

I came into this thing thinking ,No way, I can’t do this, it’s not for me, I’m not cut out for this, its way out of my wheel house, you’ve got the wrong man. I’m not the office type, you know what I mean?
But as time went on ,I started having a lot of fun in class,the instructors here are the best,understanding an individuals needs and going out of their way to make it work for you ,meeting new and interesting people from all walks of life and some other students were also injured workers getting back into the work place, I wasn’t alone.
I really enjoyed my time spent here, I learned a lot that makes me of great benefit to many potential employers, I have more choices for jobs now than ever before, I can take my pick, and I have made my choice, I am a better man for it, Make your choice too, come to school here at the Automotive Training Centre, it’ll change your life, I know it changed mine ..”

Chad Williams Transportation Operations and Dispatching

My name is Chad Williams.  I was an injured worker when Worksafe and I decided that the Dispatching and Transportation Operations program at the Automotive Training Centre would be a good fit for my situation.

At first I was hesitant, as I had no experience in this industry. Being out of school for 20 years, I wasn’t sure of what to expect from adult learning.  The professional staff at ATC was very helpful to me, and understood where I was coming from and what my goals were, and helped me to achieve them.

Both of the instructors, Jerry Virtanen and Lawrence Candiago have a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the transportation and trucking industries, and are able to pass that along to their students.  With the education that I now possess, I am now working full time as Head Dispatcher for a major trucking company in the lower mainland.  This would not have been possible for me without my training here at ATC, and without the level of teaching and value of the materials taught here.
I would like to thank the staff at the Automotive Training Centre for helping me rejoin the workforce, and to succeed in the Dispatching field.

Sincerely,

Chad Williams, Graduate
