Speedy Glass USA, a Fix Network company, is now an official partner of the DOW SkillBridge program, which provides a pathway from military service to civilian employment through opportunities from industry partners.
According to the announcement, through this new collaboration, Speedy Glass is enabling service members to bring their proven technical aptitude, adaptability and leadership experience to a technology-driven trade that offers long-term career growth and progression.
“We are proud to be partnering with DOW SkillBridge to provide this meaningful career opportunity that will create a new talent pipeline of highly motivated and skilled individuals for our industry,” says Rudy Bruckner, vice president operations for Speedy Glass USA. “Transitioning service members will gain hands-on training together with an entry point into an in-demand skilled trade. At the same time, Speedy Glass will benefit from welcoming individuals whose leadership, adaptability and commitment to excellence are certain to make our team stronger and help us continue delivering exceptional service to our customers.”
During their last 180 days of active duty, participating service members can choose to follow either a four-or six-month comprehensive, on-the-job training program delivered by experienced Speedy Glass professionals. Participants will learn auto glass repair and replacement techniques, advanced driver assistance systems calibration, customer service, safety procedures, industry best practices and more. Upon completion, service members will have the opportunity to apply for a permanent role as an auto glass technician in select Speedy Glass locations and continue their professional development through advanced training and certification. As a Speedy Glass employee, they can also work toward obtaining their Auto Glass Skills Council certification.
