The Brookhaven College program coordinator will assess the results and contact the dealers and students regarding final sponsor approval. Following approval, the student and dealer meet to discuss employment. The following items should be considered:

hourly wage while working in the dealership;
the possibility of defrayed expenses for tools, tuition assistance, etc., and;
employment of the student in some capacity prior to the start of classes.
