Mark Yunker and Jose Dominguez turned to Morton College’s Automotive Technology program to make themselves more marketable in today’s competitive job market.
Mark Yunker turned to Morton College’s Automotive Technology program so he could be certified to teach at the high school level.
Jose Dominguez’s goal is to open his own automotive repair shop.
Mark Yunker and Jose Dominguez turned to Morton College’s Automotive Technology program to make themselves more marketable in today’s competitive job market.
The Cicero residents are after ASE certification, the seal of approval in the automotive technology world. Both say they couldn’t have found a better program than Morton College’s Automotive Technology to prepare for their ASE Certification tests on brakes and steering and suspension.
Yunker, who fulfilled his general education requirements at Morton College before earning his bachelor’s at Elmhurst College, is certified to teach social studies at the high school level. However, Mark figures becoming certified in automotive technology improves his chances of finding a teaching position.
Dominguez has his associate’s degree in business management from Morton College. The experience Jose gained in getting his associate’s, plus the knowledge from being in Automotive Technology eventually will assist him the day he is ready to open his own automotive repair business.
Both Dominguez and Yunker have high praise for Morton College’s Automotive program. Dominguez says Hostert and Sykora are “always available to assist.”
“(Instructors) Dave Hostert and Don Sykora are some of the most knowledgeable and patient instructors I’ve seen,” Yunker added. “You’ve got people at different levels. It helps having patient instructors so you can learn at your own pace.”

Morton College Automotive
A group of Morton College's Automotive Technology students worked the floor at the Chicago Auto Show on February 21.
Look for the Morton College Automotive Technology Department at the 101st edition of the Chicago Auto Show at Chicago’s McCormick Place.
Morton College Automotive Technology instructors Dave Hostert and Don Sykora along with students Alex Acurio, Jose Dominguez, Pavol Jurcisin, Nicolas Martinez, Octavio Perez, Emiliano Puga, Daniel Villanueva and Mark Yunker were at the show working in the Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES)/Chevy Cobalt “Tuner” Booth in the North Hall at McCormick Place in Chicago.
“It is a great vehicle for Morton College to promote automotive education to those attending the show,” Hostert said.
Sykora added that students are taking part in a hands-on demonstration of putting replacement parts on Chevrolet vehicles.
AYES is a partnership among participating automotive manufacturers, participating dealers, and selected high schools/tech prep schools. The organization encourages young people to consider satisfying careers in retail automotive service, and prepare them for entry-level career positions or advanced studies in automotive technology.
