SEMA member companies have a great opportunity to connect with the next generation of automotive talent by attending the upcoming Career Fair at the SEMA Garage Detroit.
The career fair will take place Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 9:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m. EST and will be hosted by the Emerging Trends & Technology Network (ETTN) and Society of Automotive Engineers Southern California (SAE SoCal).
The goal of the career fair is to unite aftermarket businesses and industry professionals with passionate students who are ready to enter the workforce. Company representatives will be able to share internship and job opportunities, offer career guidance and provide feedback on vehicles that the students are building for SAE Collegiate Design Competitions. Last year, more than 425 students from 30 colleges attended and this year is expected to be just as impactful.
In addition to meeting students, attending the event is a powerful way to gain brand visibility and network with the broader aftermarket community. Attendees will also receive an exclusive tour of the SEMA Garage and its state-of-the-art equipment supporting product development.
Attending the event is free for SEMA members and lunch will be provided.
