Strengthening Our Industry for the Future!

It was an incredible opportunity to connect with the next generation of professionals and share the exciting career opportunities within the automotive industry. Angel and Anjelica were able to engage with students from a variety of programs, answering questions, offering insights into the industry and discussing the pathways to success in automotive service technicians, sales and beyond. At MMDA, we’re passionate about nurturing young talent and helping to shape the future of our industry. Engaging with students at events like this is essential to strengthening our workforce and ensuring the continued growth and innovation in the automotive sector. A huge thank you to MITT for hosting such an impactful event and to all the students who stopped by to learn more about what our industry has to offer.
