LIBERTY, NY — A free automotive mechanics course is being offered to 15 Sullivan County residents.

The course, provided by Sullivan County’s Center for Workforce Development (CWD) and Sullivan BOCES, is eight weeks and will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Rubin Pollack Education Center on Ferndale-Loomis Road in Liberty. 

Graduates will earn Automotive Service Excellence certification and will be immediately employable, says the CWD, which is part of the Division of Community Resources.

The course is open to all county residents 18 or older with reliable transportation.

This is the third initiative by the legislature to provide local workers with practical, career-building skills. Last year, BOCES offered construction and welding courses.
