MotorCareers and AutoTechs USA Join as Sponsors of Automotive Youth Educational Systems -- AYES

    SAN DIEGO--May 23, 2001--Tony Radoci, president of MotorCareers Inc., has announced the company's sponsorship of Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES).
    "Both MotorCareers/AutoTechs USA and AYES share the same goal -- the recruitment and career advancement of qualified employees in the automotive field. Our sponsorship of this effective organization was a natural alliance as our site visitors include high school students inquiring as to how they might pursue a career as an automotive technician, and we now channel those inquiries directly to AYES, along with those of other interested parties," Radoci said.
    Through its "21st Century AYES" partners program, AYES also enjoys the support of a number of automotive-related companies, including SPX Corp., the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), the Henry Primeaux Family Foundation and Snap-on Industrial. MotorCareers Inc. is the latest organization to join in sponsorship of AYES.
    "AYES welcomes MotorCareers as a financial partner," said Donald Gray, AYES president. "We see many potential synergies, given that both our organizations are focused on the career development of automotive technicians."
