CCAR’s S/P2 to be Featured at SkillsUSA Championships

The SkillsUSA Championships are sponsored annually by SkillsUSA, a national nonprofit organization serving more than 280,000 high school and college students, as well as professional members enrolled in training programs in trade, technical and skilled service occupations. The Championships, to be held June 21-22 in conjunction with the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Kansas City, Mo., are expected to draw more than 4,600 contestants in 80 separate events, including auto service technology.

“SkillsUSA is excited to add the SP/2 training process to the national championships in auto service technology,” said Timothy W. Lawrence, Executive Director of SkillsUSA. “Safety and environmental issues are of prime concern in all SkillsUSA competitive events, and employing SP/2 in the national event will be of great benefit to our best future auto technicians.”

During the 2006 Championships, competitors in the automotive technology area will be tested in their knowledge of safety and environmental issues.

“This is another example of the strong industry support for SkillsUSA,” said Robert Slovey, National ASEP/AYES Manager, GM Service Operations, and a member of CCAR’s Board of Directors. “Maintaining a knowledgeable and safe workforce will always be our number-one priority.”

S/P2 was developed by CCAR for the automotive repair industry in keeping with U.S. EPA and OSHA standards, which require that shop personnel and students be trained at least annually on safety and environmental regulations. CCAR offers S/P2 free of charge to automotive training programs, and it is now being used in more than 2,400 schools across the country. For businesses, S/P2 is available for a $299 annual subscription per facility for unlimited training.

CCAR, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, also operates “CCAR-GreenLink(R),” the National Environmental Compliance Assistance Center for Automotive Repair, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA].
