In collaboration with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the SEMA Emerging Trends & Technology Network (ETTN) hosted a successful career fair to empower students looking to jumpstart their careers in the automotive industry.
Held at both SEMA Garages in Diamond Bar, California, and Detroit, Michigan, on March 16, the events fostered valuable connections between aftermarket companies, industry professionals and students from Formula and Baja SAE competition teams.

Both events combined garnered participation from 316 students from 36 schools, 77 industry professionals and 19 companies who participated in the career fair. Students had the opportunity to present their competition vehicle builds and business prompts to industry professionals, who provided their feedback and guidance. When not presenting, students networked with companies through the career fair, where they engaged with business leaders and learned about open jobs and internships.
“The event’s success highlighted the passion and value that these students have for the automotive aftermarket industry,” said ETTN Director Nicole Bradle. “It was inspiring to see the connections being made and the excitement that spurred from each conversation.”

Thank you so much for your amazing industry support of our local students. We hope you found the day to be both useful and fun. All of the work on the SAE side was done by volunteers. On the SEMA side, we had their fantastic professional staff volunteering their time on Saturday. We would welcome new faces to join the SAE SoCal board to help us do more events at an even higher level.
Q) Why should students attend?
A) This event will help teams be better prepared for Formula & Baja competitions with mock tech inspections and presentations. They will also meet industry professionals who can potentially hire graduates and/or support student programs. It will also be an opportunity to check out the amazing SEMA Garage!
Q) Why should professionals attend?
A) It’s quite simply the best local opportunity to meet a wide variety of graduating seniors as well as industry professionals. How else could you meet 100+ students from over a dozen universities in a single day? We feel this will be the most time efficient recruiting opportunity of 2022.
Q) Is there a cost for companies?
A) We are asking companies seeking to recruit to donate $300/company to cover the operating costs of the event, including lunch for all attendees. Each company will be provided space for a table-top display.
Q) Is there a cost to attend?
A) The event is free to all.
