Each of the spring career fair events averaged over 200 students and provided opportunities for local collision students to meet industry employers, distribute resumes, see product demonstrations, and network with other schools.
Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development, Brandon Eckenrode notes, “We look forward to bringing these career fairs to additional markets in the fall and introducing these students to the local industry who are interested in their future.
