From our Service Manager Lyndon “In today’s industry I feel kids are never given the option to explore anything in the trades. Most schools put their resources in test taking or sports and in turn that takes away from the trades. To attract more kids into our industry it needs to be normalized to have a physical labor job. We need to be honest with kids that you don’t need a college degree to make money. We should normalize introducing the trades at a young age and let them know it’s a viable path." ------- From our Operations Manger Jake: "I also feel that society doesn’t put enough education into the trades. This mentality is what built the labor unions we have today. To support the tradesmen in the world to make sure they are paid properly, have the training and skills necessary to execute their daily tasks, operate in safe environment, etc. If we consider all the skills necessary to be a well-rounded technician, the list is quite long. The technician: Must be able to read and write efficiently. The technician’s repair comments are what pay warranty claims. Must completely understand the theory and operation of electricity. Must understand the theories of multiple branches of science. Must completely understand the theory and operation of computer communication protocols. Must have the ability to problem solve and make decisions daily Must be able to work independently as well as with a team. Must understand mathematics & calculations when reviewing vehicle data and parameters. Must be physically fit to perform job duties for many years efficiently. What I have just quickly listed is a full degree for anyone else in the world, but a technician is expected to learn all this at a “trade school. Not to mention the constant continuing education as technology & vehicles evolve. So what needs to change, is we need to put technicians through a 4 year degree for the very demanding career they want to step into. "
