RALEIGH COUNTY, WV (LOOTPRESS) – New River Community and Technical College is proud to announce the donation of a 2014 Nissan Altima to its Automotive Technology Program, courtesy of Nissan. The vehicle will serve as a valuable training resource, enhancing students’ hands-on learning experience and preparing them for careers in the automotive industry.

This donation was facilitated by Kevin Ritchie, District Technical Service Manager for Nissan, as part of an ongoing collaboration with New River CTC to strengthen local workforce development. The College is working to integrate Nissan Factory Training into the curriculum, equipping students with skills that qualify them for full-time technician positions at Nissan dealerships nationwide.

To ensure the vehicle’s safe transport from Zelienople, Pennsylvania, Cole Automotive Group generously donated its services. This partnership reflects the strong relationship between New River CTC and local industry leaders, including Cole Automotive Group’s active participation on the program’s advisory committee and support in placing students in dealership positions.

“We are proud to partner with New River CTC to support the development of skilled automotive technicians. By organizing the transportation of this generous vehicle donation from Nissan North America, we are providing students with the tools and hands-on experience they need to excel in their training and careers. This partnership underscores our commitment to sustaining programs like this in our community, creating opportunities for further education, preparing individuals for successful careers, and helping local businesses access top-tier talent. Together, we’re driving a brighter future for students and the automotive industry,” said Lee Cole, General Manager at Cole Automotive Group.
