Skill trades, where would you point your high school age son or daughter
I found the following image posted on Facebook, by a janitor from a small community college.
This is nothing new.
The “job outlook” and “employment change” numbers for auto repair (data below the image) could cause parents some concern.
I suspect each of us could do a better job of supporting the automotive educators and programs in our area(partial list attached, many more local (non-Natef ) programs operating all over the country)
I hope there are future minded owner/leaders supporting this program pilot(or any of the similar opportunities in their area):

or we could wait and let the OE dealers take the lead with opportunities like this(happening all over the country):

and hats off to owner/operators like this(and other early adopters):
