About I-CAR Education Foundation

The I-CAR Education Foundation was created in 1991 to solve a problem. The collision repair industry was facing a critical shortage of quality entry-level employees. The career and technical education system was not turning out enough quality graduates, and the industry's poor image was hampering its ability to attract quality students. The Foundation is a not-for profit organization that is working to attract quality entry-level candidates and assist in preparing them for careers in the collision industry. The Foundation provides the most advanced curriculum, instructor training research and related services to career and technical education.
