Oct. 14, 2016

Oct. 14, 2016—The Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF) is scheduled to host two remaining career fair events this fall, in both Atlanta (on Oct. 20) and in Columbus, Ohio (Nov. 16).

CREF is expected to announce its spring 2017 career fair schedule later this month.

“We are looking to take these events to another level,” said Brandon Eckenrode, CREF’s director of development, “by working together with local associations and groups in major geographic markets around the country, in order to expand the number of these events and reach even more students in 2017. We invite all collision industry members to join us at these events and help address the need for highly trained young professionals to enter the industry.”

Those wishing to sign up for these CREF events are encouraged to contact Eckenrode at (847) 463-5244.
