Career Days: Students Engage with Automotive Industry Professionals
This spring, students were given a unique opportunity to peek behind the curtain of the automotive industry, thanks to Automotive Technology Career Day events that connected them directly with automotive professionals.
Hosted by CNCDA Foundation in collaboration with BMW, Ford, Kia, GLANCDA, NCDA San Diego, and Bakersfield Dealers, the events aimed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world application, offering students invaluable insights into potential career paths within dealerships.
One of the highlights of the event was the series of interactive workshops and presentations facilitated by OEMs, Service Managers and auto college faculty.
Additionally, the event served as a platform for students to engage in meaningful discussions with professionals who shared their personal career journeys and offered invaluable advice and mentorship.
From networking opportunities to one-on-one conversations, students had the chance to ask questions, seek guidance, and forge connections that could potentially pave the way for future internships or employment opportunities.
