ARA, I-Car Sign Agreement to Share Information

Goal is to improve communications and meet customer expectations.

The Automotive Recyclers Association Education Foundation (ARAEF), developer of educational programs and skill training for the Automotive Recyclers Association, Manassas, Va., and the automotive recycling industry, is collaborating with the Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-Car), a nonprofit organization that provides training to the collision repair industry.

"Our planned partnership presents an enormous range of potential benefits to the automotive recycling and collision industries," says Virginia Whelan, ARAEF managing director. "This collaboration will undoubtedly result in new educational training tools and endeavors with tremendous potential for innovation and far-reaching benefit."
“A mutual understanding of each other’s industries can go a long way in improving communications and meeting customer expectations.” says Jamie Jacobs, I-CAR instructional designer. “This agreement between the ARAEF and I-CAR is a big step forward toward this goal, and provides a commitment from both industries to continuing education with regard to the considerations for recycled parts usage during collision repairs.”
