Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, LLC (HMMA) turned over the keys of 17 brand new 2006 NF Sonatas to Alabama secondary schools and two year colleges, the first in a series of donations by Hyundai's first US manufacturing plant. The pre-production (M1) vehicles will be used as training vehicles in automotive programs most of which are certified by the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF).
"Hyundai is a great addition to the economy of this state, bringing good job opportunities to our citizens. More than ever before, the two-year colleges are working closely with industry to develop degree programs, curriculum and hands-on training that produces a competitive, technically-skilled workforce," said Dr. Roy W. Johnson, Chancellor of the Alabama College System. "This kind of collaboration between education and industry is so important. The Alabama College System wants to help build Hyundai's workforce, because we are confident that Hyundai is helping to build a better Alabama."
