Collision Repair Education Foundation to Help Shops Find Summer Help

Foundation will distribute employment opportunities to collision repair instructors and students.

The Collision Repair Education Foundation has offered to help collision repair facilities find summer help by connecting collision students with those shops that express a need for entry-level workers.

Collision industry members seeking collision students for summer employment should email [email protected] with the position details, location of opportunity and a contact person. The Foundation will distribute information to local collision school instructors, and interested collision students will be asked to contact the business directly.

"Collision school programs are starting to conclude their spring semester, and with their students on summer break, it’s an opportune time to connect them with local industry businesses in need of entry-level staff," said Brandon Eckenrode, Collision Repair Education Foundation director of development. "What starts off as summer employment could possibly lead to full-time employment after graduation, and this will begin to address the issue of the industry’s dire need of entry-level workers. The Education Foundation invites all collision industry businesses to consider participating and email us their employment opportunities as soon as possible so that we can distribute the information to local collision schools and students.”
