🔦 CAREER CONNECTIONS SPOTLIGHT 🔦

A huge thank you to Chris and Stephanie Engelbrect of C&S Automotive for sharing their time, knowledge, and experience with Mountain View students as part of our Career Connections Guest Speaker Series!

Chris and Stephanie gave students an inside look at the automotive industry, discussing topics such as:

🔧 What new mechanics need to know to succeed
🔧 ASE Certifications and career advancement opportunities
🔧 The skills and qualities employers look for when hiring
🔧 The realities of owning and operating a successful small business
🔧 The importance of professionalism, reliability, communication, and a strong work ethic

Students learned that today's automotive industry is about much more than turning wrenches. Modern technicians work with advanced technology, computer diagnostics, and constantly evolving systems that require ongoing learning and training.

Perhaps most importantly, Chris and Stephanie shared their journey as business owners, emphasizing that success comes from building trust, serving customers well, and investing in people.

At Mountain View, we are committed to helping students connect classroom learning to real-world careers. Experiences like these help students explore future opportunities, understand workforce expectations, and see firsthand the many pathways available after graduation.

Thank you, Chris and Stephanie, for inspiring our students and investing in the future workforce of North Idaho!
