When it comes to working on today's cars, not every guy with a wrench is up to the job.

Modern autos feature complicated electronic engine systems and emission control gear. Trained mechanics, like health care workers, are among the most in-demand workers in the U.S., according to the Labor Department.

Where do service shops find their car experts?

At schools run by Corinthian Colleges Inc., for one. The for-profit educator's recent $84.4 million acquisition of Wyoming Technical Institute made it one of the nation's biggest trainers of future car mechanics and technicians.

Students at the school have plenty of high-tech diagnostic gear to practice on. It enrolls about 1,500 auto students in programs that last nine to 12 months.

Corinthian is much more than a mechanics' school. Wyoming Technical is one of a dozen acquisitions Corinthian completed in the seven years since its founding.
