He was a major contributor to education, including the development of the system of career technical education programs in Ohio and the development of the two-year post high school technician education centers that have grown into the system of community colleges across Ohio. Dr. Shoemaker was also instrumental in the development of VICA (now SkillsUSA) in Ohio as well as nationally and the development of NATEF (now ASE Education Foundation) accreditation, ensuring entry-level automotive repair training programs meet standards set by the automotive service industry at the national level, according to the ASE Education Foundation.
“There are many individuals within the automotive service education field whose contributions continue to influence and inspire long after they are gone. Such an individual was Byrl Shoemaker, Ph.D.,” said Mike Coley, ASE Education Foundation president. “Few have done as much to advance technician education as Dr. Shoemaker. Each year, the ASE Education Foundation honors his memory with the presentation of an award in his name. It is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for those outstanding instructors whose work reflects the same dedication to technical education modeled by Dr. Shoemaker.”

The ASE Education Foundation is partnering with auto dealer associations to conduct student automotive competitions designed to increase awareness of career opportunities in the automotive industry.
“The goal of the student competitions is to connect businesses with schools and increase the interest of students, encouraging them to work and stay within the automotive field,” said Mike Coley, ASE Education Foundation president. “The most recent competition was held in December in Texas and was a big success with 40 teams competing and over 700 students participating in a career fair. These types of events are another way the ASE Education Foundation is working to reduce the industry’s technician shortage.”
Three student competitions are currently scheduled for 2024, with more being planned. Competitions are scheduled for March in Charlotte and the fall in Houston.
During the December event at Texas Motor Speedway, 117 high school seniors from ASE accredited training programs competed in the North Texas Automobile Dealers Auto Tech Competition. Dealer technicians were paired with each of the 40 teams for several weeks leading up to the event, which featured students trying to diagnose and repair bugged vehicles where the problems were notated on repair orders.
The competition format is flexible and can be modified for local or organizational needs. Unlike traditional student competitions where school instructors train and prepare students, these competitions are based on a partnership between schools and the local businesses.
The students selected for the competition job-shadow at a local employer’s service facility and prepare for the contest alongside the technicians in the shop. A list of specific skills for the students to experience is provided to each employer.
The goal is to provide real-world experience to the students while exposing them to job opportunities in the local market, the foundation noted.
To learn more about the student competitions, contact George Arrants, vice president of the ASE Education Foundation, at [email protected].

Advance Auto Parts Foundation Announces $1.75 Million In Gifts to Aid Military Veterans
02/05/2024 RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nonprofit organizations providing employment support for women veterans, custom designed homes for injured veterans and frontline support for veterans at risk for suicide are among the recent recipients of gifts announced by the Advance Auto Parts Foundation (AAPF). Totaling $1.75 million, the gifts were made possible by donations to the foundation by more than 100 Advance Auto Parts supplier partners.
This is the second year AAPF has made gifts to Hire Heroes USA of Alpharetta, Ga., Building Homes for Heroes of Island Park, N.Y. and Stop Soldier Suicide based in Durham, N.C., totaling $3.75 million during that time.
“The military veteran community is one of the Advance Auto Parts Foundation’s three focus areas, and we are proud to partner with our suppliers to support critical needs within that community,” said Elisabeth Eisleben, president, Advance Auto Parts Foundation. “Our veterans have earned the opportunity for meaningful employment, appropriate housing and mental health care, all of which are fundamental to their wellbeing.”
A previous gift from AAPF established Hire Heroes USA’s Women Veterans Program, and the latest gift will actively support its ongoing operations. The program features transition specialists and support staff offering career services accommodating the unique needs of women veterans and helped more than 2,000 women veterans find employment last year.
Building Homes for Heroes, a longtime partner of Advance Auto Parts and its supplier partners, will use its gift to fund the Advance Auto Parts Foundation Rapid Response Program which provides financial support to veterans in need, including emergency and time-sensitive situations. AAPF provided funding for the program last year when it aided 130 veterans and their families.
Stop Soldier Suicide will use its latest gift to maintain the 2023 wellness team expansion that was funded by an earlier AAPF gift. The added capacity served more than 300 veterans with zero-cost, personalized, suicide-specific care thus empowering them to move forward.
“Each of these gifts will provide life-changing support to deserving veterans across the U.S.,” said Eisleben. “Our foundation’s leadership was pleased by what was accomplished by our gifts to these organizations last year – literally thousands of veterans were helped – and we look forward to additional support of veterans and their families as AAPF remains focused on veteran needs.”
