COLLEGE AND CAREER DAY and More! This year, we hosted our annual College and Career Day on October 5 at Manchester Community College. We had almost 700 students from 17 schools attend the event. The five New Hampshire Automotive Colleges were represented, along with their manufacturer-supported programs such as Ford, GM, Toyota and more. The students spent the day exploring the different programs that are offered, as well as meeting the instructors for each program. In addition to the colleges and manufacturers, dealerships from around the state were there, along with some past graduates and other members of the automotive industry. We had guest speaker Billy Haines of Nissan Motor Corp. and several “featured guests” who shared their stories with students excited about automotive careers. Fall school visits kicked off in midSeptember. Since then, we’ve visited nearly 20 automotive high schools to promote industry careers and educate students on the tools the NHADA Foundation has at their fingertips. On November 2 and 3, we worked with Nashua Community College to host and educate high school instructors from around the state on the latest topics in accordance with ASE standards. This educational, twoday session is always a great success! 19
