“The purpose of the checklist is to help body shops and their teams
succeed,” said Trapp. “The checklist will serve as a roadmap for
businesses and employees alike. For businesses, it provides a set of

to reach the next step in their careers.”

staff and vendors tasked with creating a standardized apprentice
