Vehicles for Change: Tackling the Transportation Barrier and Developing Career Pathways

Even in areas with strong public transit, many low-income families face transportation barriers that limit their access to good jobs. Vehicles for Change (VFC) is tackling this head-on, not just by providing cars, but by equipping individuals with the skills to maintain them and create a career path for themselves through their groundbreaking VR (Virtual Reality) Auto Technician Training Program.
In this session, Geoff Crawford, Vice President of VR, dives deep into the transformative power of VFC. You'll hear first-hand:
* The impact of reliable transportation and VR-powered skills training on breaking the cycle of generational poverty
* A revolutionary training approach: Discover the innovative VR technology VFC is using to equip individuals with in-demand auto repair skills, fostering self-sufficiency and career opportunities.
* National expansion plans: Learn how VFC is scaling its program to bring car ownership and technical training to communities across the country, creating a ripple effect of economic empowerment.
This session is more than just a discussion about cars - it's about unlocking potential and paving the way for a brighter future for countless families. Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired and learn how you can be a part of the movement.
