The General Motors Training Center (GMTC)-Dallas received the "Exemplary Business/
Labor Involvement Award"for its commitment to developing a model industry/education part-
nership in automotive training with Brookhaven College in Dallas, San Jacinto College in
Pasadena, St. Philip's College in San Antonio, and numerous school districts throughout

students, GMTC-Dallas has assimilated a cooperative work experience into the program.

alternating with class instruction. The General Motors Training Center-Dallas sponsors
various orientation sessions, and provides late-model vehicles for instructional use, special
Mill Deano ich (r) tools needed for instructional training support, all technical service bulletins and other
General Motors publications involving GM service information, and "carte blanche' access

The Corrosion Technology Advisory Committee for Kilgore College in Kilgore received the
"Exemplary Vocational Education Advisory Committee Award" for designing, implementing,
and continuously fine tuning the first Corrosion Technology Associate Degree in the country.
The Committee has worked to develop a four year degree program in which the two years
of the Corrosion Technology program at Kilgore College are teamed in a "2+ 2" articulation
structure with courses at the University of Texas at Tyler. In support of the program at Kilgore,
the Committee has helped design curriculum, develop laboratories for instruction, and has
been instrumental in getting needed equipment and supplies. It has established a scholar-
ship fund for students majoring in Corrosion Technology and has played an active role in
placement of students, in both summer internships and permanent employment. To inform
high school students of the educational opportunities in corrosion technology at Kilgore, the
Committee developed a student outreach campaign. Accepting the award is Nahum Tate,
Committee Chairman. Nahum TateTexas Council on Vocational Education page 4
