What is PACT Training?
The WSU Automotive Department has partnered with American Honda Motor Sales, U.S.A. to allow students in our B.S. Degree programs to receive training from Honda's Professional Automotive Career Training (PACT) Program and Honda's Management Action Program (MAP).
"Professional Automotive Career Training (PACT) is American Honda’s program specifically designed to help individuals build their automotive career within a Honda or Acura dealership. PACT is a team effort involving American Honda, Honda & Acura dealers, and select schools across the country"
The PACT curriculum includes Honda Alternate Fueled Vehicle training, Hybrid-Electric Vehicle training and other selected advanced technical topics.
The MAP curriculum includes the Honda Philosophy, Dealership Service Management, Parts Management, Service Advisor, and Sales training.
This training agreement is a benefit to all of our upper division students. Additionally, this training will better prepare our graduates for a career with a Honda dealership or a corporate position with American Honda Motor Sales, U.S.A.
