Gregory Dockham and Maximilian Oberheim Receive NHADA Foundation Automotive Technology Scholarship

“Greg’s skills and experience put him at the front of the class when it comes to understanding content and applying knowledge in the shop.  He has a passion for diesel vehicles and high performance diesel, and is currently employed at a local diesel repair shop.  He interned at New England Kenworth as part of his requirements for Auto II.”

"Max has shown the ability to work well both independently and excels in a group setting.  He always puts out quality work and asks questions in order to do so.  After completing his internship at Grappone Collision Center, he was given a letter of recommendation by one of the senior technicians and was asked to apply for employment.”
