2021 NHADA Auto Tech Competition

On Saturday, April 17th NHADA, with the support of Lakes Region Community College, held the annual Automotive Competition at Nucar AutoMall of Tilton, NH. Fourteen students from five different CTE schools competed for a chance to win scholarships from the NHADA Education Foundation. While this was a smaller event than the typical competition, the energy was still there.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

“We were impressed with the enthusiasm that the students brought to the competition this year”, said NHADA President Pete McNamara, “NHADA is proud to create a platform where the students can showcase the skills and knowledge they have gained in their automotive programs.”

The annual competition is a testament to the quality of education our state provides at both the high school and college level. There are programs throughout New Hampshire that can jumpstart your career as a technician which is seemingly becoming a more popular career path.
