The Midwest Auto Care Alliance recently participated in the sixth-annual Build My Future event in Des Moines, Iowa, according to a press release.
Build My Future is the largest hands-on skilled trades career event in the country, hosted by the Iowa Skilled Trades Association. Over 7,000 students from across the state were present, along with educators and industry leaders.
Representing the automotive service industry, MWACA’s interactive booth featured hands-on experiences related to diagnostic tools, tire repair, and the latest in vehicle technology, as well as racing simulators.
Shop owners, service advisors, technicians, and parts professionals from all of Iowa volunteered to attend the event and answer any questions that students had about the auto service industry.
“Too often, automotive careers are overlooked. This event gives us the opportunity to show students that the automotive industry is not only thriving—it’s evolving with technology, innovation, and real career potential,” said MWACA Executive Director Sheri Hamilton. “It’s our responsibility to ensure that message is loud and clear.”
