The Churchill County High School Work-Based Learning Program is proud to recognize the outstanding partnership between Fallon Ford and the School to Careers initiative. Their commitment to mentoring students and investing in the future workforce is a shining example of the “grow your own” philosophy in action.
Jose Vicencip-Chavez, a recent graduate from the Class of 2026, began working at Fallon Ford during the summer following his freshman year of high school. What started as an opportunity to assist in the service department quickly developed into a meaningful career pathway. Through hard work, dedication, and the support of the Fallon Ford team, Vicencip-Chavez progressed from helping in the shop to interning directly with a mechanic and gaining hands-on industry experience.
Over the years, Vicencip-Chavez has developed valuable technical skills, workplace professionalism, and a strong understanding of the automotive industry. His growth reflects the power of Work-Based Learning programs that connect classroom learning with real-world career opportunities.
Vicencip-Chavez plans to continue his career with Fallon Ford and recently received a Ford scholarship to further his education and training within the company. His success story demonstrates how local businesses can positively impact students by providing mentorship, guidance, and career opportunities right here in our community.
Special recognition goes to owner Chris Henning and Service Manager Jorge Perez for serving as exceptional mentors and role models. Their dedication to training, supporting, and encouraging young employees exemplifies the best of workforce development and community partnership.
Churchill County School District and the Work-Based Learning Program sincerely appreciate Fallon Ford for believing in students and helping prepare the next generation of skilled professionals. Partnerships like these strengthen our community and create lasting opportunities for local youth.
