Driving your professional career

Yes! AAS believes in the philosophy that great leaders create leaders, and our culture, combined with our learning, development, and ongoing training programs, allow employees to enhance their knowledge, skills, and abilities — empowering them to transition to new roles as they grow.

Employees who receive ongoing training have a better understanding of the vehicle service contract industry, our products, services, company goals, and growth strategy — which all translate to a better employee and customer experience. We provide formal and informal learning experiences with support from managers and team leaders to ensure individual, team, and company growth.

In keeping with this philosophy, we offer our employees three distinct professional development academy opportunities tailored to American Auto Shield organizational levels:

1. Professional Development Foundations Academy
2. New Leader Academy
3. Management Essentials Leadership Academy (MELA)
