Fueling Futures: Highlights from the 2025 Skilled Trades Career Fair!

The Kendall Central Oregon service team was well-represented at the 2025 Skilled Trades Career Fair, sharing career opportunities with Central Oregon High School students. Service Managers Austin Hunt, Andy Klone, and Mike Anderson shared what a career at Kendall in the service department looks like and paths students can start looking into now to set themselves up for a successful future! They also shared stories and personal experiences that helped them get to where they are today. Students also had the opportunity to win some Kendall swag by playing some Plinko and answering questions about their passions and interests.

The Skilled Trades Career Fair is hosted at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds by Central Oregon STEM, an organization dedicated to preparing students to be critical thinkers, career ready and college-bound students, and informed global citizens through integrated STEM opportunities in and out of the classroom. The Skilled Trades Career Fair exists to pair industry and education, giving students the opportunity to engage with local business that provide day-to-day insights and education. Kendall Auto Group of Central Oregon is the proud Title Sponsor of this event and believe in inspiring students to find their true passions early in their education and careers. Thank you to Central Oregon Skilled Trades Career Fair, school counselors, and students for making this an unforgettable morning!
