As a parent, you are constantly looking for opportunities that set your high schooler up for a successful, stable, and rewarding future. If your student in Sussex County is exploring their next steps, or if you're seeking a path for them that moves beyond a traditional four-year college, we invite both of you to an essential information session: DeBoer’s Auto’s Automotive Career Night.
This open house is designed to give you and your student a transparent, in-depth look at the immense opportunities within the modern automotive industry—a field that offers far more than you might imagine. Discover together what a successful, lucrative, and deeply satisfying career in this growing space truly looks like.
Event Details: Invest in Their Tomorrow
- Date: Tuesday, April 16th
- Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- Location: DeBoer's Auto Training Center
What to Expect: Clear, Informed Career Guidance for Families
Join us for an informative evening structured to address parents' most pressing questions and to engage your student directly in their career trajectory. We will "unpack" the entire automotive career space, offering a comprehensive view of the opportunities that provide excellent growth potential and stability in the long term.
- Diverse and Stable Career Paths: You might think only of a technician, but the industry is rich with roles. We will highlight positions in service advising, parts management, shop management, customer relations, and more. We will show you how a technical automotive education provides a valuable, transferable skillset that can be applied to many related categories often overlooked, ensuring your student has options.
- The Business of Auto Repair: Independent vs. Franchise: We will provide an honest discussion about the differences between working at an independent store, like DeBoer’s Auto, versus a franchise or dealership. Understanding the pros and cons of each environment is a crucial step in helping your child plan their career and choose a culture that aligns with their goals.
- The Path to Knowledge and Managing Costs: Education is key, and we know costs matter. We will go through the different ways students can gain the necessary technical knowledge, including various routes of education, technical schools, and apprenticeship programs. Crucially, we will discuss the widely varying costs involved in these educational routes, ensuring you have the information needed to make important, informed financial decisions for your student's trade education.
As an added bonus, we will be offering walk-throughs of our state-of-the-art facilities. This includes an up-close look at our Auto repair center as well as our specialized Fleet & Truck Center, giving you a firsthand look at the modern, high-tech environment your child could be working in.
This open house is specifically for any Sussex County residents—we strongly encourage both parents and high school students to attend together—who are serious about finding a lucrative, successful, and satisfying career in the trade. We look forward to seeing you both there to explore the potential.
