Mark Duval, owner of Duval’s Service Center in South Portland, ME, offers job-shadowing opportunities to eighth-graders at South Portland’s two middle schools.
From the Keep Me Current website:
When his goal of becoming an automobile technician was fired up by a job-shadow visit to Duval’s Service Center in South Portland about a decade ago, Nick Gray had no idea he would one day come full circle.
Now, Gray works at Duval’s and has the opportunity to pass on his passion for fixing cars to a new generation since Mark Duval, owner of the garage on Park Avenue, continues to offer job-shadow opportunities to eighth-graders at South Portland’s two middle schools.
Last week, Garrett Lynn and Abby Heskett, students at Memorial Middle School, followed Gray around and learned what his days are like as a highly trained auto mechanic.
Lynn and Heskett said they wanted to job shadow at Duval’s because they have a passion for engines and “everything to do with cars,” but Lynn, at least, is not quite sure yet that a career as an auto mechanic is for him.
