Episode 3 of the Professional Motor Mechanic podcast has been released and this month it takes a look at finding the car technicians of the future.
Recruiting car technicians has proved difficult for UK garages. School leavers just aren’t choosing it as a career option. At the same time, mechanics are retiring and EU citizens are leaving. So what can garage owners do to secure new recruits?
In this episode Kieran Nee, Editor of Professional Motor Mechanic Magazine, will speak to automotive apprentices and graduates, to find out why young people aren’t choosing to be workshop technicians.
He also speaks to Gavin White, CEO of training and recruitment specialist Autotech, about what garages can do to find valuable recruits. In the final stop, the podcast team will speak with Combined Fleet Maintenance in Northampton, to discuss its approach to training and recruitment.
