Newgate School is dedicated to helping low-income young adults succeed in their quest for self-sufficiency.
Newgate is a non-profit 501(c)(3) automotive technical school located in the Twin Cities. We offer auto body and auto mechanic training for unemployed or under-employed adults.
Newgate School is a tuition-free vocational school with a personalized program and a high success rate. The training program generally lasts about 18 months. The teacher-student ratio is low, 1 to 6, which allows for individualized instruction and extra help if English is not the student's native language. Students proceed at their own pace working on individual projects or as part of a team solving larger problems.
Newgate students learn basic skills that will prepare them for a variety of apprenticeships in the auto industry. They will also develop life skills and self-confidence, and learn how to get a good job and how to keep it.
The auto body program began in 1975. Newgate auto body graduates are working throughout the Twin Cities.
