If you’re interested in working in the automotive industry, Southeast Community College’s Automotive Career Expo will let you explore many different careers, as well as apply for scholarships!

Numerous automotive businesses will be on site Tuesday, Sept. 28, at SCC’s Lincoln Campus from 6-8 p.m. Two $500 scholarships will be raffled off, as well as four industry-funded scholarships that prospective students can apply for. There also will be some custom hot rods on display as well as some hands-on activities.   

“We want to showcase all of the automotive career options,” said Barry Smith, chair of the Automotive Technology program. “The idea is to get young people and their parents to see there are good career options that pay well, and you can go far.”

Smith said career options include shop ownership, service writing, automotive technicians, auto part sales, body and paint specialists, auto designers, and many others.
