• Raise awareness and change attitudes about the dangers of underage drinking among high school students.

In an industry-supported effort, the Detroit Auto Dealers Association (DADA) and Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES) has found that despite the fact that skilled automotive technicians are well compensated for their abilities, the demand for auto technicians continues to surpass the availability. This situation is expected to continue in the years ahead as vehicles become increasingly sophisticated and the people who service them must be technologically savvy. The DADA and AYES have developed a program to enhance a student’s auto technician education, and also help to satisfy the dealership’s need for qualified service technicians.
