Hyundai Motor America has donated a 2025 Hyundai Elantra N to Raritan Valley Community College’s Automotive Technology program to help students gain real-world experience in the automotive industry.
The donation will be used to train students on the most up-to-date technology that’s found in Hyundai’s high performance vehicle. This will enable students to learn the necessary information about the vehicle, including its components and diagnostics, which they will encounter when they work as professionals in the industry.
“We are extremely grateful to Hyundai for this generous donation of a 2025 Hyundai Elantra N. Vehicles are one of the most necessary—and hardest to attain—items for automotive programs, and it’s vital for students to train on them in order to gain valuable, relevant experience,” said Sara Heller, Assistant Professor/Coordinator of RVCC’s Automotive Technology Program. “We cannot thank Hyundai enough for this donation. The students are already excited to begin learning about and training on the vehicle.”
“The future of our industry depends on how well we prepare and inspire the next generation of automotive technicians,” said Emanue’l King, Senior Manager, Technical Training Programs, Hyundai Motor America. “This donation reflects Hyundai’s commitment to turning education into real-world opportunity. By placing a Hyundai vehicle, diagnostic scan tool (GDS), and our web-based technical training directly into students’ hands, we’re giving them experience with the same tools and technology they’ll encounter in the field. Our goal is to help students build confidence, strengthen their skills, and see a clear pathway from the classroom to a rewarding career within our dealership network.”
