    225. Earn While You Learn in Automotive Careers with Steve Borio
    Oct 21 2026
    What if a high school field trip introduced you to your future career and eventually brought you back to teach the next generation? As we continue our “Built to Move” Trade and Transportation series, we welcome Steve Borio, Automotive Technology Instructor and Ford ASSET Instructor at Cerritos College. With 30 years of automotive experience, including 27 years at a Ford dealership, Mr. Borio shares how an early visit to Cerritos sparked his interest in the field. Along the way, he discovered that helping others learn the job was just as rewarding as working on vehicles. He introduces the Ford ASSET program, an earn while you learn pathway that combines classroom theory with mentored, hands-on experience at a Ford dealership as students work toward an associate degree and Ford certifications. From electric vehicles and emerging diagnostic technology to management opportunities, explore a field that requires continuous learning and offers possibilities beyond just turning a wrench. Whether you are a student, parent, or career changer, this conversation offers a practical look at training, dealership partnerships, and building a professional network. In the classroom and shop, Mr. Borio emphasizes more than technical skills. Through real dealership examples, guided practice, and mentorship, he helps students develop critical thinking, diagnostic confidence, and professional habits such as communication and accountability. He is committed to creating a welcoming environment for women, first-generation students, and those entering automotive with little experience, helping them see themselves as capable professionals with a place in the industry. To learn more about Mr. Borio and the Ford ASSET program, visit Cerritos.edu and connect with him via email at sborio@cerritos.edu.

    223. Mapping the Future of Trade and Transportation with Dr. Tom O’Brien
    Oct 7 2026
    What does it mean to prepare students not only to earn a degree, but to thrive in a rapidly changing workforce? This month, we introduce ‘Built to Move,’ our new Trade and Transportation series! In this episode, Dr. Thomas O’Brien, Associate Dean in the College of Professional and Continuing Education at California State University, Long Beach, returns to share how higher education, workforce development, international education, and industry partnerships can work together to create meaningful career pathways for traditional and nontraditional learners. Discover how students can build English-language skills alongside discipline-specific training, earn self-paced AI certificates, and translate work and life experience into college credit and credentials employers recognize. It is time to see yourself as a global citizen with career opportunities that extend beyond one field, one employer, or one location. ⁠ Dr. O’Brien completed both his Doctorate of Philosophy in Urban Planning/Transportation and his Masters in Planning at University of Southern California (USC). He is also the Director of the CA Local Technical Assistance Program (CALTAP) Center and Deputy Director of the METRANS Transportation Consortium, a partnership of CSULB and the University of Southern California. He previously served as Executive Director of the Center for International Trade and Transportation (CITT) also at CSULB. His teaching and research focus on logistics, supply chain management, and goods movement policy, as well as transportation workforce development.
