Artesia DECA is proud to celebrate an outstanding DECA student, Jesus Pacheco, and soon-to-be AHS graduate, who has officially been selected and sponsored by Artesia Ford to participate in the New Mexico Junior College Ford ASSET Automotive Program!
This incredible opportunity is more than just training, it is a direct pathway toward becoming Master Certified Ford Technician and building a lifelong career in the automotive industry.
As Artesia Ford approaches the celebration of 60 years as a staple in our community, they are making an investment in the next generation of skilled professionals. Their hope is simple: that this young man will one day bring his talents back home and help ensure the success and longevity of Artesia Ford for the next 60 years.
Jesus has demonstrated work ethic, professionalism, leadership, and determination which represents the very best of Bulldog Pride.
However, his journey is just beginning.
He is currently seeking:
Tool sponsorships
Scholarship opportunities
Community and industry support
The cost of tools and certifications required to become a Master Certified Mechanic is significant, and any support would make a tremendous difference in helping this young man fully fund his futures.
If you or your business would like to invest in the future of our local workforce and support this student in achieving his dreams, please reach out.
A huge thank you to Artesia Ford for believing in our students, investing in career and technical education, and helping build the future of skilled trades right here in Artesia.
