Auto Mechanic Schools in Montana
Although Montana has only a few options for auto mechanic schools, it should not be completely ruled out, especially for those already living in the state. Montana schools have a few unique offerings, for starters, it is one of the only states with schools owned by Native Americans which provides great scholarship opportunities. Along with that financial help, Montana schools provide great tuition cuts for in-state students.

Projected Job Growth
Working as an Auto Mechanic in Montana
With such a small amount of schools, it is easy to rule Montana out as an option for school. Do not be so quick to ignore it as Montana has a very high projected job growth which means they will need many new mechanics in the near future. Along with that, the average pay in Montana is a little higher than average and is expected to grow as demand for new mechanics increases. Going to school in Montana can help get a job there but if you are coming from neighboring states, the rise in demand will make your chances even greater!
