Education Foundation - About the Education Foundation: News: 1999 Press Release

(Rolling Meadows, IL) Job Corps recently updated its Training achievement Records (TARs), Equipment List and Curriculum Bibliography for the collision repair area. As of July 01, 1999, instructors at collision repair Job Corps centers have the option of using the I-CAR Education Foundation's ADVANCE-TECH curriculum for their training needs.

ADVANCE-TECH was added to the Job Corps Curricula Materials List after a panel of collision repair experts carefully reviewed the materials and approved it. Job Corps instructors are required to select curriculum for their programs from this list.
The ADVANCE-TECH curriculum was developed by the Foundation to raise the quality of vocational training for entry-level collision repair technicians. It is the only state-of-the-art, industry endorsed and developed curriculum available.
Currently, ADVANCE-TECH is taught in over 620 collision repair training programs nationwide and several states have either endorsed, recommended or mandated the curriculum.

Job Corps provides education, training and housing for 16- to 24-year olds from disadvantaged backgrounds and with troubled academic histories. According to some officials, last year, about 69,000 young people were trained at Job Corps centers nationwide, and 80 percent of graduates left for full-time jobs or college.

The I-CAR Education Foundation, founded in 1991, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of entry-level employees for the Collision Industry.
