Investing in the next generation of women! Last week, our Co-CEO, Julie Holmes, had an inspiring conversation with Manassas City Public School students at the annual Women in Trades Lunch & Learn, where she shared valuable insights on exploring trades beyond traditional college paths. While college might be the path for some, entering the workforce after high school is equally valuable. The most important factor is learning a skill, becoming an expert, and putting forth your best effort. Julie emphasized that success is not about degrees or talents but about traits like being on time, making an effort, saying thank you, maintaining a positive attitude, having a smile, being coachable, doing extra, and always being prepared—all guiding principles Virginia Tire & Auto proudly stands by. These traits are universal and contribute to personal and professional growth for anyone in any industry or career. #womenintrades #lunchandlearn #womeninautomotive
