LOMBARD, Ill. - With the SkillsUSA Collision Repair Technology Contest being held June 24-25 at Bartle Hall in Kansas City, Kan., Celette NA will be awarding training scholarships to the top three medalists in both the High School and College/Post Secondary categories.
SkillsUSA gathers 15,000 people-including students, teachers and business partners for the weeklong events. More than 5,000 career and technical education students, all state contest winners compete in over 91 different technical, trade and leadership fields.
“Celette North America is dedicated to educating these students for future employment. With ever changing vehicle designs and material used to build the vehicle, ‘high tech’ equipment from computerized measuring, holding fixtures, and smart welders are all necessary today and even more in the future. This is just a smart part to add to the students knowledge and prepare them for the workforce,” states Timothy Morgan, director of technical services and training for Celette NA. Morgan has also served on the SkillsUSA Collision Repair Technology Committee for two years as a volunteer.
Celette announced it would like to congratulate all the competitors who have competed this year from the local, regional, state and national levels, as a lot of time and dedication goes in to preparing for these competitions. It issued a special thanks to instructors, advisors and the industry supporters who make these competitions happen while supporting education.
