MARKHAM, ON, April 9, 2021 /CNW/ - Hyundai Canada is making a bold and powerful commitment to Georgian and the Automotive Business School of Canada (ABSC) by investing more than $250,000 over seven years to support Black and Indigenous automotive students. This fall, they will begin giving entrance awards to eligible students via the Hyundai Canada Entrance Award Suite.
The partnership aligns with Hyundai s continued efforts to tackle underrepresentation of Black and Indigenous individuals in the automotive industry, and with Georgian s ongoing work to seek out and welcome diversity across the college. This donation will fuel an innovative and critical initiative designed to grow the number of students in this demographic studying the automotive industry and who will later join the sector s workforce.
