STUDENT AFTERMARKET DAY
The 2020 Student Aftermarket Day has been transformed into a 3-day virtual event. Promoting aftermarket career opportunities to youth in Canada is of the utmost importance to ensure that the aftermarket industry remains vibrant. The Automotive Business School of Canada at Georgian College offers a unique program for automotive students, including automotive aftermarket courses. Join students from sales, marketing, and other related programs for the three-day virtual conference that provides an excellent opportunity to discuss the aftermarket and the industry's future and network with potential new employees.
Organized by the Young Professionals in the Aftermarket (YPA) Committee & AIA Canada, this year's virtual conference will feature industry speakers, a panel discussion, a virtual career fair, and the most anticipated "best-in-class" student presentations. Day 2 and 3 will leave room for a virtual career fair - the perfect opportunity to connect the students to the industry. The always-popular trivia game will be available during the three-day event through the platform's gamification experience.
