The CNCDA Foundation WE’RE NOT JUST FILLING JOBS The CNCDA Foundation has evolved, thanks to the leadership of our board of directors and industry advisors. We are growing young people’s interest in automotive careers in California through programs focused on four key pillars: 1. Fostering career awareness. 2. Supporting career choice. 3. Providing innovative career training. 4. Inspiring career growth. Through these initiatives, we are not just filling jobs — we are building interest in automotive careers and fostering a skilled workforce of tomorrow. The following are ways we are making a difference across California. Programs for Current Auto Students Automotive Technology Career Days High school automotive students engage directly with local college auto programs and industry leaders. These events offer hands-on experiences led by dealership employees and showcase the latest automotive technologies brought by our manufacturer sponsors. Students can also explore local employment opportunities through job fairs at the event. Internship Program College auto students can apply to be sponsored by a dealership where the student is paired with a mentor. They will work together during the eight-week program to build a relationship aimed at securing employment upon completion. This program will launch in Q2 of 2025. 24 California New Car Dealer Quarterly
