Mercedes CLS 220d body repair on Celette frame machine

The collision repair industry is undoubtedly confronted with the difficulty of attracting younger individuals. This may be attributed to several factors, including a perception that the work is physically demanding and a lack of awareness regarding the opportunities present in this field. To address this issue and entice younger talent, it would be beneficial to promote vocational training programs, provide apprenticeship opportunities, and emphasize the technological advancements within the industry. These measures can help bridge the gap and encourage younger individuals to consider pursuing careers in collision repair.

Mercedes-Benz Viriyah Cars Body Service operates their own apprentice program, cultivating their own future professionals. This program ensures that the younger generation does not need to be concerned about finding employment, while also guaranteeing the company the quality of their future staff.
