Partnerships Provide New Student Training
A new student training program in the Autobody industry is now available in our province.
The program, is a partnership between Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT), the Saskatchewan Automobile Dealers Association (SADA), the Saskatchewan Association of Automobile Repairers (SAAR), and SGI.
Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) is providing almost $80,000 to develop and deliver a pilot project for the new pre-employment auto body repair program.
The 10-week program is designed to prepare Aboriginal people who are interested in a career in the auto body repair industry. It includes eight weeks of training and two weeks of direct work experience in an auto body repair shop. SGI will also host the first wave of students at its claims technical research facility in Regina, to give them six weeks of hands-on experience.
