July 11, 2016
The National Student Technician Competition, TMCFutureTech, is designed to promote career opportunities as heavy truck technicians.

TMC is hosting its second annual National Student Technician Competition – TMCFutureTech. Velociti, a global provider of technology deployment services, is the competition’s official sponsor for 2016.

TMCFutureTech2016 consists of a set of skills stations for technician students to be held during TMCSuperTech2016 on Tuesday, Sept. 20. Winners will be announced at Wednesday’s TMC Industry Awards Luncheon, which is open to both contestants and meeting attendees.

Student registration is limited to 80 individuals for TMCFutureTech2016. The student competition registration fee is $200. The registration cutoff is Aug. 15.

“TMC’s Professional Technician Development Committee organizes skills competitions to further our efforts to promote careers for professional commercial vehicle technicians in all segments of the trucking industry,” says Carl Kirk, executive director, TMC. “For 2016, TMC is able to continue the National Student Technician Competition thanks to Velociti’s willingness to return as the official sponsor of this valuable industry service.”

Daniel Hanna, a student at Forsyth Technical Community College, was the winner of last year’s TMCFutureTech. Students Jonathan Kelly, Southside Virginia Community College, finished second, and Karl Kerutis, WyoTech Blairsville, placed third.
