Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR)

The Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair (I-CAR) is dedicated to enhancing the skills of automotive body and related repair professionals through its Registered Apprenticeship Program. Launched recently, this initiative has rapidly expanded to 116 collision repair sites across 35 states, emphasizing the importance of hands-on training and workforce development in the automotive industry.

I-CAR's commitment to education is evident through its innovative high school pre-apprenticeship pilot program, which provides students with valuable, real-world experience in modern automotive repair. With support from significant federal grants, I-CAR is poised to shape the future of the auto collision repair workforce by placing thousands of new apprentices in positions across the nation.
