Collision Repair Education Foundation

Our mission is to encourage people with drive, dedication, and skills to pursue careers in the collision industry. Every year, our industry hires more than 20,000 entry-level collision technicians, but we’re experiencing a critical shortage of well-trained, quality employees. That’s where the Collision Repair Education Foundation comes in. We’re committed to helping talented young men and women cover the costs of state-of-the-art collision training with scholarship and grant programs.

Working with our inter-industry partners—repair shops, educators, manufacturers, insurers, suppliers, and other supporting businesses and organizations—Collision Repair Education Foundation helps collision students become the capable, qualified technicians required by the industry.
