Vanderheyden, Hoffman Car Wash partner to help students learn new skills

Vanderheyden, Hoffman Car Wash partner to help students learn new skills - WNYT.com NewsChannel 13

 

A partnership between Vanderheyden and Hoffman Car Wash is helping those who may face intense mental health and academic challenges.

Vanderheyden students recently had the chance to train at Hoffman Car Wash in Latham.

Thanks to this partnership, Vanderheyden now has a fully operational garage with all the equipment needed for a car wash and detailing.

This will provide hands-on experience and a possible opportunity for their students to become a Hoffman employee in the future.
