ASE Partners With WrenchWay to Expand Recruitment Platform for Automotive Technicians
The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence, the ASE Education Foundation, and WrenchWay have partnered to promote the School Assist platform as a solution for shops to get involved with local automotive programs, according to a recent press release.
Created by WrenchWay, School Assist serves as a platform connecting high schools and post-secondary schools to industry professionals. Schools can post requests for guest speakers, shop tours, tool donations, internships, and more, while shops are able to view requests on School Assist and connect with a school.
1,000 shops and dealerships currently use School Assist alongside over 1,100 participating schools. As a result of the newly-formed partnership with ASE, 2,000 ASE accredited training programs will be integrated into School Assist thanks to the ASE Education Foundation.
Additionally, School Assist will now be offered at a lower price for shops, dealerships, and other industry partners who would like to use it but have no need for the full WrenchWay Top Shop program.
“Our partnership with WrenchWay, utilizing School Assist, allows us to super-charge those connections previously enabled by our Adopt-A-School program,” said ASE President and CEO Dave Johnson. “It provides schools with the tools and resources they need in one centralized platform.”
