Orange County military veterans and transitioning service members are being invited to participate in the first orientation of OC Driven for Success, a program providing paid training, mentoring, and job placement with Orange County auto dealerships.

Originally launched by the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association (OCADA), OC Driven for Success was initially aimed at developing highly skilled automatic technicians by providing county high school and community college students with training in the automotive sector.
