AYES is a dynamic partnership among participating automotive manufacturers, participating local dealers, and selected local high schools/tech prep schools.

The goal: To encourage bright students with a good mechanical aptitude to pursue careers in the ever-changing fields of automotive service technology or collision repair/refinish, and to prepare them for entry-level positions or challenging academic options.
