Supporting industry recruitment initiatives & bursaries for students pursuing a career in the automotive Industry.
Awarded annually, these funds assist Manitoba students at a secondary or post-secondary level who are pursuing education that could lead to employment with a new car, truck or heavy truck dealership in Manitoba. This can be a high school trades program or a post-secondary area of study related to business. This can include, but is not limited to, Business Administration, IT, Human Resources, Communications and Marketing.
