WEYMOUTH, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — A program at Weymouth High School is teaching adults how to fix up cars for free.
For the past three years, mechanics have been teaching out of work adults how to fix cars through the school's Adult Automotive Program.
"We're teaching them how to earn a living by repairing vehicle," Neal Steinkrauss, an instructor with the program, told WBZ NewsRadio's Chaiel Schaffel.

The free program is meant to give adults the skills to start a new career. Over the 15-week course, the adult students learn everything from shop safety to the basics of how cars work during the night classes.
"I was in the field for 48 years [and] you'll notice I still have all my digits! That's no easy trick," Steinkrauss joked.

Program Manager Tiffany Henery-Brown said the program also gives attendees a handful of valuable certifications.
"We do our best to get everyone employed as much as possible," she said.
Weymouth High School is currently recruiting for the Adult Automotive Program. To qualify, individuals must be 18 and older, have a HS diploma or equivalent, and be unemployed and looking for work.
