North America. This 100 per cent student-run outdoor learning
lab gives students hands-on experience with major manufacturers

new vehicles in the three-day event. The 20,000-plus visitors who
attend every year appreciate the opportunity to browse in a
“sales-free zone” and see all the new vehicle models.
Students take part in manufacturer training, the move-in and
move-out processes, display set-up, vehicle detailing, and provide
visitors with vehicle information. Please visit georgianc.on.ca/

“Being the director of show and community events for the 2008 Georgian College
Auto Show not only provided me with leadership skills, but also taught me how to
be a better person. I can look back now and smile at the amazing time I had while
putting the show together, and truly believe that no other institute or program could
have provided me with a better experience.”

like I was learning nothing about the car business. After my first year at
