Teaching Our Next Generation to Be Auto Aware

 
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - March 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Audra Fordin, founder of Women Auto Know and owner of Great Bear Auto Repair and Auto Body Shop, will participate in PS107’s Career Day on March 27, 2015.

Our next generation will get to meet professionals from a wide range of fields. Audra will encourage PS107 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.”

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. She is in the process of completing her first Kindle book, which will help women overcome auto anxiety and become confident drivers.

Career Day begins at 8:00 a.m. on March 27. Call (718) 359-8263 for more information.
