ASE and U.S. Secret Service Partner to Promote Automotive Careers at AAPEX

The National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence will be joined by the U.S. Secret Service at their exhibit at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo, Nov 4 to 6, according to a press release.

The purpose of the exhibition is to drive awareness of the wide range of career opportunities available to auto technicians, including with the Secret Service. Since mobility is a key line of operation within protective services, the Secret Service has an array of specialized vehicles to help them securely move leaders from place to place. The organization requires ASE Certified technicians to help keep those vehicles operating safely.

Two specially outfitted Secret Service Chevrolet Suburbans will be on display just outside of Joe’s Garage, in a co-branded booth with ASE.

“That the Secret Service needs ASE Certified auto technicians underscores the range of career opportunities in this industry,” said Dave Johnson, president and CEO of ASE. “It’s a technical career that requires far more than turning a wrench—modern vehicles are effectively ‘rolling robots’ with unprecedented levels of autonomous capabilities driven by hundreds of sensors and actuators that are controlled by more lines of code than a modern fighter jet.”
