BOOT CAMP IN SESSION
The Saskatchewan Association of Automotive Repairers (SAAR) is at it again with their ever-continuing generosity. The organization recently donated $3,300 to Sask Polytechnic to support Auto Body Skills Boot Camps in Regina and Saskatoon. The initiative aims to provide aspiring students with hands-on experience and valuable skills in the field of autobody repair, encouraging them to pursue a career in this industry.
The Autobody Skills Boot Camps are open to students in grades 10, 11, and 12 who have a keen interest in making auto body repair their profession. Each program can accommodate up to 12 students, ensuring personalized attention and guidance throughout the training sessions.
In Regina, the Autobody Career Connection is offered in partnership with the Regina District Industry Education Council. Similar to the Saskatoon program, participants have the opportunity to learn and practice various skills, such as constructing, filling, prepping, priming, painting, as well as electrical and sheet metal work.
The boot camps aren’t the only SAAR-backed training opportunities, though. The organization will also donate $20,000 to the Distance Learning Corporation of Saskatchewan to initiate a high school work education program throughout the province. This money will go to compensate teachers supervising this program which was previously concealed due to budget cuts.
