CRC Industries, the global Supplier of specialty products and formulations—and good friend of Grassroots Motorsports—is teaming up with the TechForce Foundation, a nonprofit who provides “opportunities, resources, and support for students who want to pursue careers as professional technicians.”
Why offer so may initiatives to help students interested in becoming technicians? “Transportation tech jobs are in high demand and a far cry from your grandparents’ mechanic,” explains TechForce CEO and Executive Director Jennifer Maher, “today's transportation techs draw on more high-tech skills than ever with the average new car containing more than 30 computers and in excess of 100 million lines of code.”
Dori Ahart, Senior Marketing Manager for CRC, also lauded the partnership, saying that “We want to help encourage talented, hands-on students to develop their skills to become the techs of tomorrow and support the hard-working trades professionals and teachers who are training and mentoring them today.”
