The parking lot at Wilson Talent Center roared to life Friday evening as the Automotive Technology program hosted its annual Cruise-In Car Show—an event that drew in students, alumni, program partners, and families from across the region.
With custom vehicles on display, live demonstrations, and plenty of engine talk, the event was more than just a car show—it was a celebration of hands-on learning and the connections that make it thrive. Students showcased their technical skills, explained their work, and networked with professionals and proud community supporters alike.
Attendees got a look under the hood at what WTC’s Automotive Tech program is all about: real-world training, career readiness, and serious horsepower.
A huge thank you to everyone who made the event possible and came out to support these future auto tech pros. Keep cruising!
