On Nov. 21, the public opening day of the LA Auto Show, the Greater Los Angeles New Car Dealers Association hosted a vibrant career fair. Nearly 900 college students and instructors from local automotive programs met with over 25 dealer groups to explore exciting career opportunities in the automotive industry.
Students had the chance to engage directly with dealership staff, including fixed ops directors, service managers, shop foremen, and HR recruiters, to discuss career pathways and job opportunities. They were also able to experience the latest vehicle technologies shaping the future of the industry, offering them a glimpse of what the future holds for those pursuing a rewarding career in the automotive field.
This year’s career fair, presented in partnership with the CNCDA Foundation, was a rousing success, forecasting a bright future for the auto industry in the Greater Los Angeles area.
