Fleetio announced a new Fleetio Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) scholarship program.
The program awards six scholarships to automotive technicians and students pursuing ASE certifications, creating opportunities to develop the next generation of skilled fleet maintenance professionals.
“16% of high school automotive students want to work on trucks or heavy equipment, but it’s not offered in their community,” said George Arrants, vice president of the ASE Education Foundation, announcing the program at the American Trucking Associations Technology & Maintenance council annual meeting in Nashville March 9.
Fleetio’s selection committee will evaluate nominations based on their commitment to advancing their careers in automotive repairs. The program awards one grand prize scholarship of $3,000 to cover registration and testing fees for three ASE professional-level certification tests and tool upgrades.
Five runner-up recipients each receive a $1,000 scholarship to assist with certification testing costs, tools or other supplies.
Arrants said they have found that there is a higher retention level among technicians with ASE certifications.
