In 2015, Bridgestone forged a unique partnership with Metro Nashville Public Schools to support the Maplewood High School Automotive Training Center, an immersive program helping students develop trade skills and identify career opportunities in the auto industry. The successful venture has already graduated more than 110 students and is now being replicated through a similar partnership in Akron, Ohio. In this episode, THRIVE host Keith Cawley talks to Miss TJ Williams, the heart and soul of the Maplewood program, and one of her recent graduates, Jacqueline Nanney, who now works at a Firestone Auto Care store in Nashville.
