The Collision Repair Education Foundation is once again partnering with the TechForce Foundation to host high school and college transportation career fair events this fall. The career fairs are estimated to connect more than 2,500 collision, auto service, heavy duty, and diesel students with participating employers.
The Education Foundation also plays an active role in facilitating on-site interviews, employment related presentations, and ensuring students are well prepared for meeting company representatives.
“Connecting students with the array of career opportunities in the industry is a key part of the Education Foundation’s mission,” says Brandon Eckenrode, director of development for the Education Foundation. “Our transportation career fairs provide the perfect opportunity for industry employers to meet with students who have trained for entry-level positions in collision repair and other related automotive professions.”
The fall 2018 schedule includes:
- St. Louis, Missouri (9/21/18) – Gateway Motorsport Park
