At McGovern Auto Group, we believe in challenging outdated perceptions and creating opportunities for everyone. The automotive industry has long been seen as a “boys-only” club — but we’re proud to help change that narrative.
Each year, McGovern Automotive hosts Girls in Trades at Toyota of Nashua in Nashua, NH. This initiative, created in partnership with Girls Inc., invites young women to explore hands-on careers in automotive and beyond. Girls Inc. buses in participants from their Nashua Center, where they spend the day learning, engaging, and discovering their potential.
We’re already planning for next year — and we’re thinking bigger. Our mission is to ensure that women of all ages are aware of the numerous career paths available to them, many of which offer paid training opportunities or grant support through local dealerships.
This year’s event included:
Hands-on training at female-led stations
Skills like changing tires and wiper blades
Learning about car maintenance and ownership
Practical knowledge that builds confidence and independence
At McGovern, we know we’re doing more than selling cars — we’re supporting futures and sparking curiosity in the next generation of trailblazers.
To our colleagues, community partners, and customers: help us spread the word. Let's keep building opportunities and breaking barriers — together.
