Keep your instructors and your curriculum current. The annual ASE Instructor Training Conference brings automotive educators from every school type across the nation to one place for three days of interaction and instruction on the latest industry practices—meeting accreditation standards while gaining the knowledge and tools to help students graduate job-ready.
But instructor development doesn't just happen. It takes the support of industry partners to make an event like this successful. "We are crammed at the walls with sponsors from across the industry, and we're so grateful for them spending their time and their money to interact with these instructors to expose them to the technology, the tools, and the resources they need," said Dave Johnson, ASE President and CEO.
This collaboration between ASE, educators, and vendor partners strengthens the future technician pipeline.
