Team ASE Podcast

There are many creative ways Team ASE collision industry partners find to support the effort to attract and train the technical talent we need for today and tomorrow. Two important ones include providing sponsorship support for the annual instructor conference and finding creative ways to get consumable materials into the collision programs to help stretch scarce school resources. Evercoat does both.

In this Team ASE Podcast episode, we talk with Tim McKinney, Senior Field Application Engineer at ITW Evercoat, one of the Platinum Sponsors of the 2024 ASE Education Foundation Instructor Conference. This type of industry involvement is critical to ensuring that those tasked with preparing the next generation of collision professionals have the tools, products and information to deal with the latest in fast-changing automotive technology. The ASE Education Foundation couldn’t provide the level of support necessary to CTE programs nationwide without Team ASE partners like ITW Evercoat.
