A Fayetteville Technical Community College student will be presented with a 2011 Buick Regal at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 27, by the College’s Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology program.
The presentation is being done in partnership with the National Auto Body Council’s Recycled Rides program, which links vehicle donors with organizations in the collision-repair industry in order to provide transportation to individuals and service organizations that are in need.
FTCC students in the Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology program, known as Collision U, refurbished the sedan, which was donated by National General Insurance Co. The student who will receive the car, a single mother, was identified through an application process at the College.
Several local businesses and businesspeople have also contributed to the project:
FTCC’s Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology program prepares graduates to apply technical knowledge and skills to repair, reconstruct and finish automobile bodies, fenders and external features. Graduates can earn awards including an associate degree, a diploma and numerous certificates, and qualify for entry-level employment at automotive dealerships, independent collision-repair shops and insurance companies or by working for themselves as collision repair and refinishing technicians.
The public is invited to attend the event. A tour of the Collision Repair & Refinishing Technology center will follow and refreshments will be served.
