As someone who intends to stay in the automotive space, what are a few good tips for making the right connections while I pursue my degree?
I am currently a technician working for a NAPA affiliated shop and I've seen a lot of aftermarket companies making tools and the such. My goal out of college is to join a team that specializes in aftermarket tools(PICO, Snap on, Milwaukee, Gearwrench, etc.). I wouldn't mind working for any other company/firm as long as it deals with automotive technology/engineering.

Here are some helpful tips to make great connections while you're working on your degree:
1) Check out where some tooling companies are located near you. Do a quick online search to learn more about them.
2) Big auto companies often have lists of suppliers. These could be great places to seek part-time work or internships.
3) Search online for "automotive companies in [your area]." Visit them in person to ask about internships or apprenticeships.
4) Meet people in the industry. Building relationships and sharing your passion can really open doors!
5) Look into companies like Black & Decker. Use the internet to explore your options. We have so many resources available, so let's take advantage of them and move forward!
