Ask Patty
Interview with Dara Dubois - SkillsUSA

Thursday, March 01, 2007

Ask Patty - Women consumers can get advice from a panel of expert automotive women on car buying, selling, maintenance, repair, car care and car safety.

Ask Patty is a great supporter of SkillsUSA, a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled work force. We help each student excel. Dara Dubois, State Director of SkillsUSA California (formerly VICA), gave us a few minutes so we coudl pick her brain about where she's been and where she's going.

We'll let Dara tell you her story...
My greatest challenge as a woman working in the automotive industry is being taken seriously and with credibility. Iâve had to work harder than any man I know in the industry just to âprove myselfâ starting back in high school trying to stay in the auto shop class before girls were allowed in. Whether it be working in âa manâs worldâ or buying a car, women are not treated the same as men.
