The nonprofit TechForce Foundation is accepting nominations for the 2020 FutureTechs Rock Awards through 4 p.m. PT on March 24.
Dedicated to helping student techs achieve their professional dreams, TechForce created this award to honor the student community and recognize those who have a promising future and will shape the transportation industry.
There will be a finalist for each of the ten transportation categories and one of those category finalists will become the People’s Choice Grand Prize winner.
Each category finalist, selected by a panel of industry experts, will receive an AutoZone gift card, Duralast tool set, online subscription to Haynes Manuals, Ford Professional tools and ASE study guides from Cengage Learning.
The grand prize winner, chosen by popular vote, will have the option to choose between a $1,000 TechForce Foundation Scholarship and other prizes, including an iPad Air from Ford Motor Co.
