3M's automotive aftermarket division said Tuesday that it will donate up to $250,000 to train returning U.S. military veterans in the area of auto-collision repair.

The 3M Hire Our Heroes campaign will begin in January in conjunction with the Collision Repair Education Foundation, National Auto Body Council and Operation Comfort.

3M makes many adhesives, protective wraps and other products for the automotive industry.

"Our industry needs qualified repair professionals with the necessary skills to keep pace with the evolving repair standards," said Dale Ross, marketing operations manager for 3M Automotive Aftermarket.
