Hundreds of high school students in Winnipeg had the chance to learn about the many different career opportunities in the automotive industry on Friday.

Denis Cloutier spent his career in the automotive industry. Now, as the executive director of the Automotive Trades Association of Manitoba, he’s encouraging the next generation to do the same.

“Like every other trade, we are all struggling to attract youth to come into the trades so this is our opportunity to expose high school students to the collision repair industry,” Cloutier said. On Friday, the Automotive Trades Association of Manitoba held a high school career event as part of its annual trades show, with 365 students and teachers from across Manitoba getting the chance to learn about the many different jobs within the evolving industry.
