We welcome Danny Pohl, representative of the Skills USA program to discuss in depth how this program partners with high school vocational programs to motivate and inspire the next generation of automotive collision and finishing technicians. We also welcome Brian Godoy, a graduate of the program to discuss the program and skills competition experience and how he found the automotive collision repair career field, and insights about the program from his instructor from Southern High School, Richard Garrity. This is a fascinating and fun conversation covering this program from all perspectives and so much more!
