It’s no secret that our industry relies upon a robust pipeline of highly skilled automotive technicians for sustainment.
Last year, we had record growth in scholarship awards that have had tangible results. We have more students taking advantage of our scholarship programs, more students enrolling in degree based automotive technology programs resulting more students in experiential learning opportunities in member shops that often result in careers for them, and a reliable labor pool for our members. 2018’s 20 for 20 fundraiser was instrumental in making that possible.
For 2019, we kicked off 20 for 20 at the NHADA Annual Convention. 20 for 20 is a jumpstart to sales of tickets for the Big Raffle, a primary source of revenue for our various education programs to include scholarships. Members can purchase Big Raffle tickets, sponsoring the tickets for high school automotive technology students. The goal is to have every Auto 2 student sponsored by our members. This demonstrates the investment that each of you have in their education and reminds them that we have great career opportunities right here in New Hampshire during and after their schooling.
Many students have already been sponsored. Thanks to the following members for already stepping up and committing to the 20 for 20 drive:
