“The collision repair industry continues to get more complex as vehicles become more sophisticated,” said Mary Jo Prigge, executive vice president, chief service delivery officer, CCC. “CCC is proud to support schools and students with resources to advance training and to better prepare the next generation of collision repairers.”
The CCC Classroom Grant Award recipients are:

CCC’s Classroom Enhancement Grants are designed to assist schools’ collision repair programs with classroom materials – electronics, tools, furniture and other items – to ensure that students pursuing a career in collision repair have access to a professional learning environment and are prepared to successfully enter the workforce upon graduation.
