The NHADA (New Hampshire Auto Dealers Association) is proud to have partnered with SkillsUSA last month in hosting a multi-day automotive technology competition. SkillsUSA, a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together, serves over 360,000 students and instructors annually. This includes 20,365 instructors who join as professional members. Including alumni, SkillsUSA membership totals over 400,000. SkillsUSA has served more than 13.5 million annual members cumulatively since 1965.

The competition kicked off on March 12 at Nashua Community College where students from high school collision repair competed to become top in the state. The competition came to an end on March 21, touching upon many disciplines within automotive technology—ranging from high school collision, to small engine, to diesel and just about everything in-between. The NHADA would like to highlight both McDevitt Trucks Inc. and Holloway Buick GMC who sponsored the Post- Secondary Diesel Competition and the Post-Secondary Automotive Competition, respectively.
