CAREER CONNECTIONS
Pfaff Autoworks hosted a job fair in late February with the goal of introducing new talent to the automotive industry. During the event, approximately 65 attendees participated in networking opportunities to speak with experts in the industry and learn what Pfaff Autoworks has to offer. The event also gave attendees the chance to view a special display of the championship-winning Pfaff Motorsports race car.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Presented in partnership with Career Transitions, Lethbridge Polytechnic has announced the development of a dual-credit program in order to provide high school students with better access to the trades. The newly developed 15-week course program highlights all trades programs currently offered at Lethbridge College, including, but not limited to: automotive service technician, heavy equipment technician and parts technician. For these programs, the course format is a combination of asynchronous and in-person learning, where students will review theory online and then visit the campus for hands-on application under the direction of Centre for Trades faculty.
MENTORSHIP MEET-UPS
Accelerate Auto, a Canadian organization aiming to help Black talent find opportunities in the automotive sector, has announced the launch of its 2025 mentorship program for women in the industry. The new mentorship program builds on the previously initiated pilot program first started in 2024. Key features of the program include the ability for participants to connect with accomplished mentors and prominent figures in the automotive industry, receive tailored guidance, and engage in strategic networking opportunities.
