Racing America, SKILLED Nation Celebrating Scholarship Recipients at COTA

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (November 3, 2026) – Racing America is giving one SKILLED Nation scholar an up-close look at the fast lane during their upcoming event at Circuit of The Americas (COTA), November 5-8. As the 2026 season wraps up at the famed Austin, Texas venue during the Garage Living Racing America @ COTA weekend. SKILLED Nation will be on hand for the event, with scholarship recipient Franck Etoh attending as part of the celebration.

SKILLED Nation partners with employers, educators and funders to create and manage scholarship programs that help people start and complete career training. Those scholarships also address financial barriers beyond tuition, such as tools, supplies, transportation, childcare and other eligible expenses.

Etoh came to the United States from Cameroon five years ago, pursuing a technical career in aviation maintenance at Universal Technical Institute (UTI) in Houston, Texas. As a SKILLED Nation scholar, the program has reduced some of the financial pressure associated with Etoh’s training as he pursues his dreams in aviation.

“My career goal is to become a successful aviation maintenance technician and obtain my FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certificate,” said Etoh. “I want to use my skills and experience to contribute to aviation safety, support maintenance teams, and grow professionally in the aviation industry. 

“I also want to create a better future for my two sons and show them that, with determination and hard work, it is possible to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.”

SKILLED Nation is a national nonprofit expanding access to training for high-demand skilled careers. Founded in 2021 as SkillPointe Foundation, SKILLED Nation helps build the skilled workforce America needs.

Since 2021, SKILLED Nation has raised more than $10 million, funding more than 3,000 scholarships across all 50 states. This work helps people pursue financial independence through skilled careers while helping employers and communities develop the talent they need.

With SKILLED Nation sponsoring Graham Jacobson’s efforts in the Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli, everything will converge at COTA next week as Etoh watches Jacobson pilot the No. 48 Skilled-Nation.org Chevrolet Camaro in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series’ season finale at COTA.

“SKILLED Nation is truly honored to have funded more than 3,000 scholars like Franck across the country,” said Alvin Townley, Founding Executive Director, SKILLED Nation. “We have been thrilled to be sponsoring Graham Jacobson in the CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series and having our organization represented by such a great driver in an arena that literally runs on skilled trades and technicians.

“Graham has been an exceptional flagbearer for our organization, and we are excited that Franck and Graham will have the opportunity to meet and exchange their experiences at COTA.”

The SKILLED Nation-sponsored entry celebrates the expertise of the skilled mechanics, welders, fabricators, machinists and technicians behind every race car, while also bringing awareness of skilled careers and scholarship opportunities to racing fans.
