A million-dollar gift from the Joel Landy Foundation is enhancing the automotive education program at the Breithof Career and Technical Center in Detroit’s public schools. The program teaches collision repair, including dent repair, painting, priming, and sealing, preparing students for entry-level jobs in the automotive industry. With a state-of-the-art facility and hands-on training, the program aims to address the industry’s shortage of technicians. The gift will help expand the program, which currently has 75 students enrolled in 10th to 12th grades. Upon completion, students will receive credentials to start jobs in the field and potentially become fully certified. This investment in automotive education aligns with Detroit’s history and DNA, providing students with valuable skills and opportunities for internships before graduation.
