Frank I have had pretty good luck with some Wyotech grads. You have to hunt for the right ones. I got to know the staff and they refer the good ones. Plus look for the ones with perfect attendance in the "street rod segment", They can only work on their own projects if they have perfect attendance.

Look for the ones with passion and make them show you their passion. I also only contact the resumes from the guys who follow up with me in email or phone after sending the resume. This process and rewarded me well.

Wyotech can also put you on a list to start getting applications.

Make them work in the shop for a week or 2 before you hire them. You can weed out 75% of the slacker ididots that way. I pay them and provide lodging and if they don't work out no harm no fowl.

Good luck
