Leesburg, Va. – March 24, 2025 – The ASE Education Foundation has released its 2024 annual report. The report focuses on the efforts of the non-profit organization in addressing the technician shortage, increasing the number of ASE-accredited educational programs and using industry-developed national standards to ensure training programs have the resources needed for student success.
The report provides statistics on the increase in the number of students attending ASE-accredited programs from 2023 to 2024 and the increase in the number of ASE entry-level tests taken by students last year.
Also included is a recap of the proven solutions the foundation is employing to address the technician shortage as well as the ASE Education Foundation’s partnership with WrenchWay and its “School Assist” program.
Another area of focus is the results of the annual student survey conducted by the foundation. Key findings show that working while in school increases retention in the industry and more industry work opportunities are needed for students under the age of 18.
Other highlights include the addition of new hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) accreditation standards and the introduction of the G1equivalency where students in ASE-accredited programs can earn a professional G1 certification at no additional cost by passing eight ASE entry-level automobile tests.
“The ASE Education Foundation annual report provides a comprehensive overview of the foundation’s activities and how working with industry partners is increasing the educational opportunities for students across the country,” said Mike Coley, president of the ASE Education Foundation.
“We encourage those who are interested in partnering with the foundation to review the annual report to see how we are working to help prepare and retain the next generation of service professionals and what our partners are doing to make a difference in the industry.”
