I-CAR TO HOST “ROUND TABLE” DISCUSSION ON ROLE-SPECIFIC TRAINING NEEDS Hoffman Estates, IL – November 5, 2009 – I-CAR, The Inter-Industry Conference on Auto Collision Repair, has announced that it will host a “round table” discussion on Wednesday, December 9 at its Training Support Center in Hoffman Estates, IL. I-CAR invites interested members of the collision repair inter-industry to participate in an open dialog about the ongoing work to organize industry training around role-specific career paths. Over the past 18 months, I-CAR has taken a systematic approach to analyzing its current curriculum model and collaborating with the inter-industry to develop a more meaningful approach to training that encompasses role-specific needs and training that builds on a foundation over time. “Despite the extent of the collaboration to date, we are still working to get as much information from the industry as possible,” said Jeff Peevy, Director of Field Operations. I-CAR presented a concept version of a new curriculum model at the Collision Industry Conference (CIC) meeting held on November 3 in Las Vegas, NV. John Edelen said, “For the past two years, we have been engaged directly with the inter-industry to identify the training challenges it is facing, and how I-CAR can better support the industry’s efforts to address them. We continue to be guided by the I-CAR Vision throughout this work: ‘that every person in the collision industry, current and future, has the necessary knowledge and skills relevant to their position to achieve a complete and safe repair.’ We are continuing this work in that spirit – to define role-based performance-focused training solutions that the industry needs.” Collision repair inter-industry professionals who would like to take part in the discussion can register on the I-CAR website at www.i-car.com/roundtable to attend the meeting which will take place from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. There is no cost to attend and lunch will be served. Participant travel is at the participant’s expense.
