Aaron and Jacob –STILLWATER, OK (03.20.26) – KICKER strengthened its commitment to technical education by visiting Franklin Technology Center in Joplin, Missouri, on February 19. KICKER Training representatives Aaron Malin and Jacob Luckey conducted an interactive session with automotive students as part of the SkillsUSA national workforce program.

This was the second time KICKER has partnered with instructor Joe Flynn’s class in the last three years. The session included an overview of KICKER, fundamentals of car-audio systems, listening demonstrations, and hands-on activities. Students assisted in setting up the KICKER’s SkillsUSA amplifier and subwoofer training rigs. Several pairs of KICKER earbuds were awarded as prizes to participating students.

“We enjoy working with the students at the technical schools,” Malin said. “Many don’t know that car audio can be a very exciting and lucrative career. Everyone loves music!”
Flynn, the automotive mentor at Franklin Technology Center, noted, “Our students had a great opportunity to learn from Aaron and Jacob, who taught them the science behind mobile electronics and the proper way to wire and set up an audio system for the best performance.”

KICKER’s outreach highlights the company’s dedication to inspiring the next generation of mobile-audio enthusiasts and professionals. Through such initiatives, KICKER aims to showcase the rewarding opportunities in the car-audio industry and support hands-on learning in automotive technology programs.
