MVCTC Auto Collision Program Receives $500 Benchmark Grant Through the Collision Repair Education Foundation
The Collision Repair Education Foundation is excited to announce that 27 secondary and post-secondary schools in the United States will benefit from Benchmark grants funded through the efforts of ten devoted I-CAR Committees. The MVCTC Auto Collision program was one of the 27 schools in the United States selected to receive a Benchmark Grant.
"I-CAR committees supporting CREF and CTE schools have always been a high priority at I-CAR because we recognize the need for properly funded and equipped schools to train and prepare fresh, young, qualified entry-level technicians to support the needs of the collision repair industry," stated Terry Ticel, I-CAR Director, Field Sales. "For 2021, I-CAR committees are engaged in a more robust strategy to be even more focused on and visible in the CTE schools. We now also have six Regional Business Development Principles throughout the United States available to support CTE administrators and instructors with any interest, support, or needs they may have."
"The Collision Repair Education Foundation is proud to have so many dedicated industry partners supporting collision education," Melissa Marscin, the Foundation's Director of Operations and Administration, said. "Collision repair training programs are facing tremendous budgetary pressure. It is difficult for many to maintain their program at current capabilities, let alone afford to invest in increasing their abilities to satisfy the industry's current and future workforce needs. The Benchmark Grants are designed to help collision schools get the much-needed tools, equipment, and supplies they couldn't get otherwise and increase their capabilities." The Collision School Career Readiness Benchmark Grants recognize schools that excel at educating students in collision repair, but due to strained school budgets, the programs require additional financial assistance. Recipient schools use these funds to provide the tools, equipment, and supplies necessary to enhance their students' learning experience and elevate their graduates' caliber, ensuring that graduates are prepared to enter the workforce upon graduation successfully.
The Collision Repair Education Foundation, founded in 1991, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting collision repair educational programs, schools, and students to create qualified, entry-level employees and connect them with an array of career opportunities.
