RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Automotive aftermarket businesses seeking potential employees for job positions now have an additional resource: the alumni section of the Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium (GAAS) Scholarship Web site – www.automotivescholarships.org.

“Past winners of the GAAS scholarships have posted their profiles and their availability for employment in our industry,” said Pete Kornafel, chairman of the GAAS scholarship committee. “Aftermarket organizations seeking new employees can search the database of alumni for those seeking employment. They are certain to find outstanding candidates.”

Aftermarket employers can search for past scholarship winners seeking employment by visiting www.automotivescholarships.org and clicking on the “Scholarship Alumni” tab. Once at the alumni page, employers can locate alumni available for positions by checking “Seeking Employment” in the “Search” box.

The annual two-day Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium brings together industry leaders and experts to examine the issues and trends affecting the automotive aftermarket and influencing its future. The 2010 event is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, May 18-19, at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare in Chicago. Proceeds from the event fund the GAAS Scholarship program. Details are at www.globalsymposium.org.
