The three career fairs, held in conjunction with ASE, will be held at:

Mason, Mich. – November 13th – Wilson Talent Center
Minneapolis, Minn. – November 15th - Hennepin Technical College - Brooklyn Park Campus
Columbus, Ohio – December 1st – Columbus State Community College

Brandon Eckenrode, Director of Development at the Foundation stated, “We look forward to ending our 2017 career fair schedule on a strong note with events taking place in Minnesota, Michigan, and Ohio. As several of these will bring together collision and auto service students from around the state, we anticipate nearly 1,500 total students to be in attendance with these events. To continue this work into 2018, we are also finalizing our spring schedule of career fairs that will include cities such as: Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Chicago, St. Louis, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Nashville, Atlanta, Boston, and Greensboro.”
