Test Application Form
Individuals interested in becoming GM-ASEP students will be given an application form to complete. A copy of this form can be obtained from this site, or at the Macomb Community College Automotive Department. When the test application is received, the student will then be asked to take an aptitude test. Students will be sent the test location, date, and time.
Visit Current Classes
The prospective student may schedule an appointment with the GM-ASEP coordinator requesting a tour of the facilities and/or sit in a current GM-ASEP class.
GM Dealership Sponsorship
Each student is required to be sponsored by a General Motors dealership before entry in the program. It is the prospective student's responsibility to locate his/her own sponsor. Students experiencing difficulty finding a sponsor may contact one of the GM coordinators for a list of dealers who have expressed an interest in sponsoring a student.
Hiring at Dealership
Results of the aptitude test will be sent back to the student. The completed application is taken to the GM Dealer as a letter of introduction. An appointment for an interview should be scheduled with the prospective dealer's General Manager and/or Service Manager. The dealer, on further discussion with the student, will make a determination for hire.
Employment Guidelines
Following approval for dealer sponsorship, the student and sponsoring dealer should meet again and reach an agreement regarding the sponsorship. The following should be discussed:
- Arrangement for uniforms while at work and while in school.
- Hourly wage while working in dealership.
- The dealer may employ the student prior to the beginning of the program to develop a mutually beneficial relationship.
Financial Aid
An application for admissions is required for financial aid. Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid to assist with educational expenses in the ASEP program. The free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the core document to apply for all types of Financial Aid at Macomb Community College. Financial aid is available in the form of grants, scholarships and loans. Some funds are based on financial need, others are not. To be considered for both need and non-need based financial aid, the FAFSA form is required. The application deadline is May 1st for the Fall academic year.
Application materials are available from the Financial Aid office. If students have questions on the Financial Aid process, they can contact the Financial Aid office.
Enrollment
Applications from recommended students will be sent to the Detroit Training Center. The Training Center Manager will assess the application and send confirmation or additional information regarding enrollment to the student applicant, sponsoring dealership, and Macomb Community College.
