June 17, 2013—The Automotive Training Managers Council (ATMC) is now accepting nominations for its annual awards program honoring “outstanding or innovative” training programs designed for service or support in the transportation industry.

The deadline to apply for the 2013 National Excellence in Training Awards is Sept. 1, and the awards are open to any person or entity providing training in the industry.

“These awards serve to recognize the important function that training and trainers serve in the complex business of transportation service and repair,” ATMC president Dave Milne said in a release_notes. “The technology in the industry is constantly changing, and without talented trainers and effective programs, the ability of technicians and other support personnel to keep vehicles on the road would be greatly diminished.”

There is a $150 application fee, and the winners of the awards will be recognized at a reception Nov. 6 in Las Vegas during the 2013 SEMA Show.
