Autel U.S. and the ASE Education Foundation announced a new partnership to support high school automotive programs nationwide. As the first step in this collaboration, Autel, as part of Autel Inspires, a key pillar of the broader Autel Cares philanthropic initiative, will donate 100 of its professional-grade TS900 diagnostic and service tablet kits, an investment valued at $100,000, to help equip the next generation of technicians with industry-ready tools, company officials stated in a press release.
High school automotive instructors and program administrators can complete the entry form to apply for one of the donated TS900 tablets. The Foundation will oversee the application and selection process to ensure the tools reach programs where they will make the most significant impact, noted the release.
Launching Autel Inspires
This donation marks the launch of Autel Inspires, a long-term initiative within the Autel Cares program dedicated to providing technology, training and support to schools and emerging automotive professionals.
“Today’s automotive students are tomorrow’s essential technicians,” said Autel U.S. CEO Chloe Hung. “Through our partnership with the ASE Education Foundation, we’re ensuring young people across the country have access to the technology and tools that power modern service bays. The Autel Cares initiative is about giving back to the industry that shaped us, and Autel Inspires is one of the most meaningful ways we can do that.”
Since its launch in June 2025, the Autel Initiative has focused on expanding educational access, supporting industry development and empowering the next wave of automotive professionals. The Autel Inspires program specifically targets students, instructors and training institutions, offering equipment, mentorship and resources to help strengthen technical education.
“We thank Autel for the very generous donation of these award-winning diagnostic tablets,” said Mike Coley, president of the ASE Education Foundation. “The Foundation is dedicated to finding solutions to the service technician shortage, and having committed industry partners like Autel makes a huge difference. These TS900 tablets will give students hands-on experience with current technology, helping them build confidence and competence as they prepare for careers in automotive service.”
