To this end, the automotive industry will benefit from engaging underrepresented groups in the conversations and decisions that are happening across our sector. We are proud to be a part of the solution.\u201d
\nThe awards will allow students to gain automotive industry experience in dealership operations, vehicle manufacturing, aftermarket and more, and will help students to expand their professional networks through co-operative education opportunities and exposure to industry events.
\nJason Dale, ABSC Executive Director shares that \u201cGeorgian College is honoured to see our students benefit from the generosity of industry partners like DSMA, and is thankful that DMSA is helping to bring the dreams of our underrepresented student communities to fruition.\u201d<\/p>\nAbout Georgian College<\/h3>\n
