  • I went to a trade school to be an automotive tech, and they had a job fair near the end of the program where all of the local dealerships came out to give out information and set up interviews.

    I came out of the program with an entry level hourly position as a technician at the BMW dealership and worked with a master tech until I was ready to start flagging hours.

    Speaking as someone from the USA, so there’s probably a bit of a cultural difference, but I’d say it’s the most likely way to secure a decent job in the industry. Otherwise, you could likely get a job busting down tires and doing oil changes at a local shop. You’ll be getting experience that way, but what you learn will be very dependent on the individual shop. It’s a much cheaper alternative, though (at least in the US).
