Boston Hispanics Seek Technology Degrees for High Demand Jobs, by Stacey Marcus

Some of 22-year-old Angel Garcia’s fondest childhood memories growing up often involved fixing things. He would tinker with gadgets, take toys apart and learn about their inner workings. “It’s like a puzzle – you have all these pieces, and you are not sure how they fit,” the Boston resident said. “Sometimes you have to take a step back and see it from a different perspective.” Angel has not only applied this approach to repairing things but also to his own career journey. One piece at a time, he built a pathway to earn an associate degree in automotive technology and a bachelor’s degree in automotive management from Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology (BFIT), a non-profit private college in Boston. Today, he works full-time for the City of Boston, maintaining its fleet of vehicles – from hybrid cars to large trucks.
