As the automotive industry continues its shift toward electric vehicles, the demand for skilled collision repair technicians is growing. Recognizing this need, Sin City Collision Center in Las Vegas, NV, launched a new partnership with the Clark County School District (CCSD) Automotive Technology program to introduce students to career opportunities in the collision repair industry, particularly in EV repairs.
Through this collaboration, Sin City Collision Center provides students with hands-on demonstrations, educational workshops and insights from industry professionals.
The first of 11 scheduled classroom visits took place Feb. 24 at Southwest Career & Technical Academy. During the session, Christina Grigorian, general manager of Sin City Collision Center, and Daniel Mastny, a graduate of CCSD’s automotive program at Coronado High School, spoke to students about industry trends, evolving repair techniques and career pathways.
“We’re committed to fostering the next generation of automotive repair professionals by giving them direct access to industry expertise,” said Grigorian. “With the rapid rise of EVs on the road, it’s crucial for students to understand the evolving technology, repair techniques, and the career opportunities available in this field.”
Sin City Collision Center, one of Las Vegas’ only Tesla-certified body shops, is uniquely positioned to guide students through the specialized repairs required for EVs. As part of the initiative, students will benefit from classroom visits featuring collision repair professionals discussing industry trends and essential skills, live demonstrations showcasing cutting-edge repair techniques and safety protocols, and mentorship and career guidance, including potential internship and job opportunities at Sin City Collision Center.
With more than 10,000 EVs registered in Clark County and the continued expansion of electric mobility in Nevada, the need for qualified collision repair technicians is growing. Sin City Collision Center’s partnership with CCSD aims to bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring students gain the knowledge and hands-on experience required to succeed in this evolving workforce.
