Reach More Young People:
Host an Automotive Career Event!
Dealers across the country are hosting career events for students throughout the year, not just in April as part of NADA's Automotive Career Month. Young people receive a "behind-the-scenes" tour of a new-car dealership in their community to see first-hand how the business works in all areas of its operation. They have an opportunity to interact directly with dealership employees and view a new video on auto careers. Nearly 109,000 positions are available at new-car dealerships nationwide, according to a 2007 survey by Harris Interactive, sponsored by the industry coalition Automotive Retailing Today. Dealers interested in hosting a career event can click here to request an event kit.
