Check out TechForce Foundation's ongoing "Grab the Wheel" campaign. With a clear objective to inspire the next generation of technicians who will keep America rolling, this campaign zeroes in on students aged 13-24 who are still considering what they want to be when they grow up. It is about applying each individual's strengths and passions and helping them find meaningful work they enjoy and love. The ambition is clear: welcome one million new entry-level technicians over the next five years to meet a pressing workforce demand. Whether students are excited by auto, collision, aviation, diesel, EV, motorsports, or welding, techs are in high demand across all sectors. “If you don’t want to sit at a desk the rest of your life, sign up for four more years of academia, or just love engines and making things work, you can go further, faster with a tech career.” - Jennifer Maher

❗ 📣 Looking for an Internship or Graduate role in Formula 1 or Automotive Software? 📚 In my own and peers' experiences, most universities do not teach (or even mention) the fundamental concepts that are used on a daily basis in automotive-related software. Online resources on the topic are scarce and not tailored for beginners. 😞 As a result, many students lack a foundational understanding of industry-specific principles. I was in this position too before working at Mercedes AMG HPP! 🗝 But, there is no reason why this should be the case... Knowing what 'Automotive Software' means can contribute massively in your efforts towards an entry-level software role in the field. ✔ I've created a free short guide and FAQ on the essential automotive and motorsport software concepts you must know as a university student or graduate looking to break into the field. 💡 Get the guide at https://dimpan.com, and kickstart your journey into the world of automotive/motorsport software! 📖 Message me for 1-1 advice and help on Formula 1 & Automotive Software Interview Prep. I am helping a limited number of students for free. #formula1 #formulastudent #automotive #software #internship #graduate #university #motorsport

It's graduation season! Are you celebrating an accomplishment? Is someone you know? CONGRATULATIONS! Graduating is so satisfying, isn't it? You've finished all of those courses!
