Tim O’Day, President of Gerber Collision & Glass noted, "Gerber Collision & Glass has been a long-time supporter of the Collision Repair Education Foundation. I am confident that our contribution is helping to attract the right students to the collision repair high school and post high school programs, and ensuring that they receive the education and experience needed to take on the entry level jobs that we have available. New entrants to our industry are the key to our future success."
Collision Repair Education Foundation Director of Development Brandon Eckenrode noted, “On behalf of the collision school instructors and students that we support, I would like to thank Gerber Collision & Glass for not only their continued support but also increasing their involvement with us. In addition to their participation in many career fairs next spring, we will be collaborating on several additional projects that revolve around connecting collision students with employment opportunities. Only through our industry supporters are we able to address the issue of training high school and college collision students and helping to place them into the industry. Gerber Collision & Glass is a strong industry partner that is helping make that happen.”
The Collision Repair Education Foundation’s collision career fairs are open to all industry members to participate and those seeking to meet high school and college collision students are encouraged to contact the Education Foundation for sponsorship and participation information. Sponsorship funds raised through these career fairs assist the organization’s efforts to ensure that collision school programs have the needed tools, equipment, and supplies to graduate qualified and skilled entry-level employees.
