Are You a "Maker and Fixer"? Snap-on Wants to Spotlight and Reward You
SkillsUSA industry partner Snap-on is shining a spotlight on the Makers and Fixers who keep the world moving.
They seek stories about skilled people who work with their hands in the essential industries that focus on transportation — in the air, in the automotive shops or on the roads and rails. Future, past or present Makers and Fixers are invited to share their personal stories or nominate someone they admire. To share your story, visit the Share Your Story page, tell them about yourself and upload some photos of you working on a project. Follow on Instagram @MakersandFixers to see if your story is shared. All eligible stories are entered into a drawing, and two stories are picked each month to win a prize valued up to $600. If you don’t win, don't worry! Your entry in the giveaway gets carried over each month. Visit the official rules for more information.
Ready to Rock with the "FutureTechs Rock Awards"
