“A life skill I have picked up at YATC is to have patience. Sometimes life can throw challenge at you one after another. Working on cars has definitely taught me to slow down, take my time on the task at hand and get the job done correctly the first time, which can be applied to anything in life, not just working on cars.”

Kyle Cagot, Class of 2024
