The project lasted three years and part of my role was to meet with service managers at Twin Cities based auto dealerships to encourage them to recruit and retain women in the positions mentioned above. I have to admit it was the most exciting project I have worked on! The goals included increasing awareness of careers in the auto service industry, increasing enrollment and retention of the number of females in auto service programs at local technical and community colleges, and increasing the number of females working in nontraditional roles within the auto service industry.

When a new vehicle is designed the vehicle maker can use an existing windshield part from an older model vehicle, or they can create a whole new windshield and part number. If the decision is made to create a whole new windshield the vehicle maker contracts a glass manufacturer to create the part. The glass manufacturer and vehicle maker create a unique mold and a unique molding/firing process to produce the OEM windshield (Original Equipment Manufacturer). The parts are installed when the vehicle is assembled at the vehicle makers factory.
