Randall Westbrook's List: auto schools

• Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES) is a partnership among participating  automotive manufacturers, participating dealerships, and select secondary  automotive programs
• Through its dealership and school partners, AYES strives to enhance the public  image of dealerships and dealership careers, build local partnerships between  dealerships and high quality schools, and foster positive working environments  in dealerships

  • public opinion of "mechanics" seems to be one reason for the shortage of new trainees. People view us as "grease monkeys" or not educated enough to do anything else. No one takes into consideration the amount of technology involved with the vehicles of today.
• Dealerships today are in competition for qualified employees, not only among  themselves, but also among restaurants, mass marketers, other retail outlets and  other professions
