Former South Tech student to work for Mercedes Benz

Jonathan Pellnitz, a former student at South Tech Academy's Automotive Technology Program, completed his training in June 2007.

He was recently accepted into the Mercedes-Benz training program, located in Massachusetts.

The Mercedes-Benz program of study is titled the ELITE program and for students to qualify, they must have a quality grade point average, consistent attendance, and a perfect driving record and pass an entrance exam.

Jim Kidd, president at South Tech, said Pellnitz matured while at South Tech into an exceptional technician. He said he has full confidence in Pellnitz and believes he would excel in the Mercedes program.

Kevin Gary, advanced training manager for the Mercedes-Benz ELITE training program, said he was excited to have Pellnitz admitted into his program.

Pellnitz is set to start the program in October.
