The event saw participation from industry professionals representing 17 companies across metro Atlanta, who shared insights about the automotive field.
Held within the school's automotive classrooms and labs, the fair provided students with opportunities to connect with representatives from various sectors, including dealerships, independent repair shops, parts suppliers, truck and equipment repair businesses, and technical colleges offering Auto and Diesel programs. Many organizations enhanced the experience by bringing swag, handouts, and vehicles for display.
