The automotive industry as a whole has worked with several education organizations including Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF), SkillsUSA, The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), and others. In addition, Chrysler’s “Financial” and “in-kind” investment in the public education system is substantial every year. Chrysler requires CAP programs to maintain NATEF certification. Automotive service program support begins in high school.  Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES) is an industry led initiative that is a partnership between automotive manufacturers, participating dealers, and selected high school/tech prep colleges.  They are designed to encourage young people to consider careers in the automotive service industry and prepare them for advanced post-secondary studies in automotive technology. High School Support Through dealership and college partners, AYES strives to enhance the public image of dealerships and dealership careers, build local partnerships between dealerships, quality colleges, and foster positive working environments in dealerships. High schools and vocational-technical colleges that are selected for AYES have ASE-certified automotive programs through NATEF and have active chapters of SkillsUSA. To be eligible for Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicle and component donations to enhance their automotive programs, colleges must be NATEF certified.
