Ep #20: The Hidden Turbine That's Driving Success in Our Schools - with Brandon Eckenrode of CREF
We are all quick to complain about the lack of talent in our industry but where does most of that new talent come from? SCHOOLS! Why are we forgetting about these schools and instructors who are educating and training the up-and-comers to an industry that desperately needs them?
Most of these schools and programs are severely underfunded and can't afford to provide the tools, supplies, safety equipment, etc they so desperately need.
Then along comes CREF - the Collision Repair Education Foundation - a foundation where 90 cents of every dollar goes towards industry needs. CREF has been around for 30 years but is finally gaining the awareness they deserve! Through donations and support of those in our industry CREF has been able to disperse over 300 MILLION DOLLARS!
Listen as Brandon Eckenrode, Director of Development, shares with us what the foundation is about, how they help and some up and coming events they have planned to help raise money.
If you have a desire to learn more about job fairs in your area, ways to donate or how to get connected to a local school please call or email Brandon directly!
