TOPDON USA announced its partnership with North America Council of Automotive Teachers (NACAT), a nonprofit organization that represents automotive educators. The organization works to facilitate the exchange of educational materials, training, and ideas, as well as to provide professional development.
In addition, NACAT offers support groups for automotive programs, incentivizes continuing education to its members, and actively strives toward federal, state/provincial, and local administrative support. The Council organizes an international conference yearly, educating and renewing the members to improve automotive education in North America.
Some of the benefits offered to educators by NACAT include scholarships, special pricing for automotive tools, equipment, teaching materials, and various professional and personal development opportunities.
“We’re very excited about this new partnership," said Chad Schnitz, vice president, TOPDON USA. "TOPDON understands how important it is for the automotive industry to have high-quality educational programs and prepared professionals. One of our main goals is to contribute to the next generation of automotive technicians by offering support to their teachers and instructors.”
