So, I live near Toronto, Ontario, Canada and I have been thinking of getting a job as an auto mechanic and I saw that my local college has an Automotive Technician program available with a co-op option.

It is also important to note that Canada is now in a bad recession (and not really because of Trump's tariffs, but rather the very high taxes, regulations, and lots of wasteful government spending). However, I did hear that the automotive mechanic trade is pretty recession-proof (because people will still need their cars fixed even in a recession and will be less likely to buy a new car).

I just thought that taking the Automotive Technician would really improve my chances of getting into the trade because I just don't have any previous work experience. I also live in an area where the unemployment rate is amongst the highest in my province.
