State Farm Reinvests in SkillsUSA
In the interest of maintaining a workforce with the skills needed to repair homes and vehicles, State Farm has maintained its support of SkillsUSA. In addition to a $100,000 contribution, the insurer is providing hundreds of hours in time donated by employee volunteers.“Our investment in skilled trades, such as auto collision repair and home construction benefits our customers every day,” said Warren Farrar, Assistant Vice President-Claims. “We spend billions of dollars for repairs to our policyholders’ cars and homes every year. Therefore, our investment to help develop skilled technicians to complete these repairs is time and money very well spent.”
State Farm supports ongoing SkillsUSA educational programs as well as the organization’s national competition. In attendance at this year’s competition held in Kansas City, Missouri, June 26 through June 29, were:
- 5,000 contestants (students)
- 1,200 judges from business and industry
- 650 business and industry volunteers who designed and managed the contests.
SkillsUSA is a national not-for-profit organization serving teachers and students who are preparing for careers in trade, technical, and skilled service occupations. SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled work force.
State Farm insures more cars than any other insurer in North America and is the leading U.S. insurer of homes.
