Juan Gladin's passion for cars was sparked by his father, leading him to pursue automotive studies at Riverside City College. With the support of Network Kinection, Juan secured an internship at Jiffy Lube where he applies his classroom learning into practice as a technician. While at Jiffy Lube, Juan has been honing his skills and building strong connections with his coworkers. In his own words, he reflects on his career aspirations and offers advice for students looking to advance their own careers.
We are excited to see Juan's growth and are proud to support him as he works toward a bright future in the automotive industry.
Have fun doing what you like.
The interest began when I was helping my dad with his cars. When I first started at Jiffy Lube, I got along with my coworkers. They have helped me a lot in jobs that I did not know how to do, like performing an oil extraction through the dipsticks. The hardest thing for me was filling out the work order, but I have got it down now. In the future, I see myself being a crew chief. My advice is to have fun doing what you like, like me - I enjoy working on cars.
