<\/p>\nJason Sherle<\/div>\nJason Sherle and his brother were always intrigued by cars \u2013 and making a living working with cars was always top of mind. The Auto Collision and Refinishing Technician Program<\/strong> was the perfect fit and he excelled, winning skills awards locally, provincially and nationally. He had a choice of companies willing to take him on as an apprentice after graduation in 2015. He particularly enjoys perfecting his craft, working on high-end vehicles like Lexus and BMW.
