TOPDON US announced the renewal of its membership with the North American Council of Automotive Teachers (NACAT) as a part of the company's TOP-UP Program.
Since starting the TOP-UP program in 2022, TOPDON has provided product donations and monetary scholarships to community colleges and trade schools to help close the skills gap among the automotive workforce. Additionally, NACAT's mentor program connects members with experienced automotive instructors to provide students with the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and receive support from fellow professionals. The organization also offers an annual conference full of roundtable discussions, exhibits, networking, scholarship opportunities, and more.
