Hands-On Learning at the Auto Collision Experience (ACE) Event!
KCCC's Collision Repair students recently attended the ACE event, where they gained firsthand knowledge and experience from seasoned professionals in the collision repair industry.
Students learned about the many career opportunities available in the industry and the growing need for skilled workers. They also participated in a panel Q&A, followed by mock interviews with potential employers—with some students even receiving job offers on the spot!
The trade fair gave students the chance to explore vendors and opportunities from across the industry, including tool manufacturers and educational programs. Students also took part in hands-on activities such as:
-Paintless dent repair
-Automotive glass crack repair
-Virtual painting
-Connecting a scan tool to a Lamborghini!
The day was a great opportunity for students to learn from industry professionals, explore career pathways, and make valuable connections in the automotive collision industry.

Kevah Knight, senior in Culinary Arts, participated in Centerburg’s Old Time Farming Festival Pie Auction, an annual fundraiser that helps support and continue the festival each year.
This year, Kevah and her family created a special three-generation pie display with the theme, “Home is Where Our Story Begins.” Kevah’s grandma and her mom worked together to make a chocolate bourbon pecan pie, while Kevah, inspired by her Culinary Arts experience, created a lattice-crust cherry pie. Both pies were made completely from scratch!
The two pies were auctioned together as a beautiful display that included baskets, coffee, coffee mugs, and other locally purchased décor items. The display brought in an incredible $750, with the winning bid coming from The Rusty Redhead, located along the main road in the Village of Centerburg.
What a great example of family, creativity, and culinary skills coming together!
