Can We Turn Back The Tech Shortage Tsunami? (Podcast)

The tech shortage is already here and will only get worse. What can be done? This podcast is sponsored by AAPEX.

Everyone talks about the technician shortage but does anyone do anything about it? Well, yes. From educators to manufacturers to shop owners to industry advocates, people have been working for decades to promote the automotive industry as an attractive and profitable career option. Unfortunately, the shortage tsunami is real and has real implications for the independent repair market.

Jennifer Maher, CEO and Executive Director of TechForce Foundation, explains the resources that are available to help potential repair technicians transition into this industry and how we can work together to solve the shortage one tech at a time.
