Cox Automotive has introduced a no-cost pilot program providing automotive technical school students access to Xtime software and training, starting with Southern Union State Community College. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real dealership workflows, addressing the industry's shortage of skilled technicians. By offering hands-on experience with dealership service technology, the program prepares students for workforce demands and supports dealerships in building a stronger talent pipeline. Future expansion depends on pilot feedback and results.
