That certainly was the case for Bill Uttich, a Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) alum who found himself in an automotive collision repair course at <a href=\"https:\/\/apex.bvsd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apex (formerly Boulder TEC)<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That one class launched his career, gave him a new sense of accomplishment, and brought him back to the exact same place it all started: an auto shop classroom at Apex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surrounded by the hiss of welding torches and the smell of metal, Bill has been working for almost three decades on the Apex campus, teaching the same class that inspired him. For a self-described \u201caverage\u201d student who generally felt bored by school, automotive collision repair tapped into a creative side that was calling him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-2-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-2-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-2-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Left: Bill smiling on a snowy day; Right: Bill teaching a group of students<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bill hasn&#8217;t looked back since, saying, \u201cIt changed my life, completely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subject matter interested him, but what really made all the difference was an incredible teacher who saw something special in him. Now, he\u2019s paying it forward as an award-winning educator. Bill, a 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/what-we-do\/impact-awards\/\">Impact on Education Impact Award<\/a> winner, uses the same kind of mentorship skills he benefited from with his own students,&nbsp;like recent alum Peter Martinez.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The ripple effect of inspiration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When Peter, a Monarch High alum, transferred into Bill&#8217;s automotive collision repair class, he wasn\u2019t happy with his high school experience. And it was hard to envision his future. Even graduating on time didn\u2019t feel like a guarantee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI really didn\u2019t know what I was going to do, but I knew I didn\u2019t want to go into college debt,\u201d said Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving from South Africa a year before high school, adjusting to a new curriculum in the U.S., making new friends, and even just feeling like Monarch High was the right fit for him was a struggle. That\u2019s why he applied to join Apex: it was a chance to try something new. When he found automotive collision repair, things started to shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI had no clue what I really wanted to do until I met Bill.

He looked forward to it, showing up on time and sometimes even early. His confidence quickly grew as he realized \u2014 this was something he was really good at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI had no clue what I really wanted to do until I met Bill.

And that makes you feel good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Success stories like Peter\u2019s and Bill\u2019s prove that career training programs change students\u2019 lives. But for too many talented teens in BVSD, financial circumstances stand between them and these important opportunities. That is why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/college-and-career\/#gradplus\">Impact on Education, the foundation for Boulder Valley schools, partners with BVSD to help remove financial barriers<\/a> and ensure every student who wants a technical education gets the chance to experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Access to professional training for every student<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some students, a life-changing class like automotive collision repair might be out of reach without support from community partners. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/college-and-career\/#gradplus\">Impact on Education covers course fees<\/a> for students enrolling in Apex who otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to afford it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWith [Impact on Education] and my department trying to help some of these kids&#8230; I think it just allows them to feel a little bit more connected to the class, to feel a little bit more welcome,\u201d said Bill.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, Impact on Education awarded 1,055 high school students with fee waivers for college and career opportunities. That included 119 students at Apex. For a class like automotive collision repair, the waiver covered supplies like personal protective gear, a shop shirt, I-CAR registration, and consumable goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith [Impact on Education] and my department trying to help some of these kids, either financially or, even sometimes clothing or things like that, I think it just allows them to feel a little bit more connected to the class, to feel a little bit more welcome,\u201d said Bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like school districts across Colorado, BVSD faces funding shortfalls after more than a decade of chronic underfunding. Partnering with Impact on Education to help fill in funding gaps allows the district to continue offering opportunities that help every student grow \u2014 so that financial challenges don\u2019t get in the way of student opportunity or their sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A path to graduation and a meaningful career<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-3-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-3-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-3-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-3-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-3-1-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.impactoneducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Website-Blog-Body-Wide-1200x600-3-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Left: Peter and Bill with a class of students in the shop; Right: Peter welding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Career training in high school encourages teens to uncover hidden talents, gain new skills, and envision new possibilities for themselves after graduation.
