By: Women Auto Know Contact: JeanneFontana CMO/ Marketing Director Jfontana@synergy3corp.com Audra Fordin, founder of Women Auto Know and owner of Great Bear Auto Repair and Auto Body Shop, will participate in Powells Lane Elementary School’s Career Day on March 25, 2015. Our next generation will get to meet professionals from a wide range of fields. Attorneys, architects, airplane pilots, and auto mechanics are participating in this event. Audra will encourage Powells Lane students to consider an automotive career. She is concerned the industry could face a shortage of skilled workers if trends continue. “American children just aren’t as interested in cars as they used to be,” Audra said. “Modern technology has drawn their attention elsewhere. I’ll show them working on cars can be fun and lucrative. ” Audra has worked on cars since she was twelve years old. She tripled the size of her shop’s customer base within months of taking over by serving the female market. Audra’s reach goes beyond the walls of Great Bear Auto Repair.
