Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “The industry is in demand of highly motivated and skilled entry-level employees. To attract this level of student, we have an opportunity and an obligation to assist the high school and college collision school programs to ensure they look like professional learning environments. The ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures of the schools that we have already with new flooring showcase how this type of project provides a ‘foundation of professionalism’. I invite the industry to join us in helping even more schools.”

Industry members who are interested in ‘adopting’ one of the listed collision school programs and learning more on the sponsorship amounts for each school should contact Brandon Eckenrode at Brandon.Eckenrode@ed-foundation.org or 847-463-5244 for additional information.
