ASE Connects for Schools
Building a Stronger Technician Workforce—Together
ASE Connects—in partnership with WrenchWay—gives high school and post-secondary automotive, diesel, and collision programs a simple, effective way to build relationships with local shops and dealerships, receive valuable classroom support, and access exclusive resources and offers.
Best of all, it’s completely free for schools to join!
Why Join ASE Connects?
Across the country, instructors face the same challenges:
- Limited time to build and maintain industry partnerships
- Difficulty knowing who to contact and which shops are willing to help
- Limited access to real-world experiences for students
ASE Connects solves these challenges by bringing schools and industry together on one platform—making connections easier, faster, and more meaningful.

School Assist serves as your central place to connect with shops, dealerships, and industry partners.
What You Get:
- Easy, direct support from local shops: Post your program needs each semester—whether you need guest speakers, tools, shop tours, advisory committee members, or job-shadow opportunities for students. Interested shops can respond directly through the platform.
- Updated contacts and streamlined communication: You no longer need to guess who to reach out to. We keep shop contacts updated and organized, and messages happen right in the platform—saving you time and reducing communication barriers.
