Attention Automotive Enthusiasts

    Dale Smith of West Jordan, Utah has made it a point to give West Jordan students, who are interested in automotive careers, an opportunity to fulfill their dreams.

    On Friday, March 2nd, Student Career Day hits Salt Lake City at the AutoRama, and unfortunately, school is out for the day, so the automotive classes cannot facilitate field trips.

    If you or someone you know may have a student interested in attending the AutoRama, and/or receiving information about the opportunities of scholarships, job shadows, internships, or continued education in the automotive industry, please contact Dale Smith at 801-706-9966 or wynnsdns@gmail.com
