Quote of note

“As the community sees more electric vehicles on the road, they may not know the wiring or the importance of effective electrical vehicle charging, but our students will,” said Sheremetria Davis, LSC-Houston North workforce associate dean, in the news release. “Additionally, our students will have the training to properly install, repair and maintain charging stations to support the increase of electric vehicles we will start to see on the roads of Houston.”
