Collision Engineering at MCC

Last week we celebrated the 2026 Collision Engineering graduates during our graduation reception. Proud of this group and everything they accomplished. These students balanced school, internships, and certifications to get to this point.

This industry needs hardworking young technicians, and this class is ready to make an impact. Huge thanks to the families, mentors, and industry partners who helped guide them along the way!

Today’s the day! Feel free to join virtually by scanning the QR code below. MCC is honored to host the signing event for Collision Engineering Career Alliance and the Department of Labor.

Congratulations to our incredible graduates! Last night’s ceremony was one for the books. Sharing the college’s post to keep the celebration going

A look into SkillsUSA Nebraska!

Big thanks to our industry partners like Levander’s Auto Body for supporting opportunities like SkillsUSA.

Seeing our students out there competing, learning, and representing the trade says it all. This doesn’t happen without shops willing to invest time, resources, and belief in the next generation.

We appreciate the continued support and partnership!

This National Apprenticeship Week, we’re proud to recognize the impact of hands-on learning and the opportunities it creates for our students and partner colleges.

The Collision Engineering program is built on the idea that education should go beyond the classroom. Through paid apprenticeships, students gain real-world experience, build confidence in their skills, and develop meaningful connections within the industry—all while working toward a career with long-term growth.

To our students: the work you’re putting in today is building the foundation for your future. To our college partners: thank you for continuing to support and elevate this model of learning.

Check back this Thursday to see what’s next for our apprenticeship programs.

Spring quarter is flying by! We’re already halfway and these students have been grinding through EV safety, refinishing, SkillsUSA, internships, and labs. This is what it’s all about!
