Your next master tech might be in 7th grade.

That's the playbook from an Ohio partnership between Sinclair College and Voss Auto Group.

They run a summer camp for middle schoolers. Teaching them oil changes, jump-starts, and even rebuilding small engines. They also give them ride-alongs in EVs and autonomous vehicles.

Stop waiting for techs to show up at your door. Go find them.

You don't need to build a college program from scratch. You can partner with a local high school or community college, offer your service bay for one Saturday a semester, sponsor a local robotics club and connect it to automotive careers, or even host a 'parent-student career night' in your shop.

Show them this is a viable, high-tech career path, not just a dirty job.

The investment is small. The potential payoff is a loyal, homegrown technician workforce that sees you as a career destination from day one.

What is one step you could take this school year to connect with students?
