GM launches '30 Under 30' program to spotlight young service techs

General Motors announced from Detroit the inaugural 'GM Automotive Service Technicians 30 Under 30' program on September 23, 2026. The program invites nominations — including self‑nominations — for GM service technicians under the age of 30 through 11:59 pm ET on October 30, 2026.

Selected honorees will receive national recognition at an induction ceremony in Detroit along with a custom PACKOUT™ toolbox and professional tools provided in partnership with Milwaukee Tool, AI diagnostic glasses, and a personalized program service jacket. GM links the initiative to its broader workforce and skills efforts, including GM ASEP, Shifting Gears for veterans, and Technician Excellence.

The inaugural list of honorees is slated to be revealed in January 2027, with selected technicians to be notified in late fall 2026. For Michigan automotive enthusiasts and the dealer network, the program highlights GM’s investment in technician development and raises the profile of frontline service talent across the state and nationwide.
