HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL – January 12, 2016 – The Collision Repair Education Foundation’s career fair for Orlando, FL has been set for Thursday, March 10th as the organization continues its efforts to bridge the gap between high school and college collision students and entry-level industry employment. The event will be taking place at the PPG Business Development Center in Kissimmee and industry companies seeking to meet greater Orlando area collision students are invited to participate.

Over 250 local collision students from 7 schools have already RSVP’d for the event and sponsorship funds raised during this, and other career events, are utilized by the Education Foundation to ensure high school and college are graduating qualified and productive entry-level employees.

“PPG is proud to support the Collision Repair Education Foundation and their efforts to assist the future professionals of the industry,” said Domenic Brusco, PPG Automotive Refinish, senior manager, industry relations. “We look forward to hosting this career fair for the greater Orlando area collision students and help introduce them to collision industry employers.”

We would like to thank PPG for hosting this event and their continued support of the Education Foundation.”
