The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the ASE Education Foundation will take part in a panel discussion during the Automotive Service Association (ASA) Congress of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS) symposium on Nov. 1.
The one-day event will be held at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas and is designed for automotive repair shop owners and their managers.
Trish Serratore, senior vice president of communications for ASE and George Arrants, vice president of ASE Education Foundation will be part of a panel entitled “Finding and Keeping Tomorrow’s Talent-Putting Flexibility in Inflexible Structures.”
Panelists will explore what the next generation of technical talent will need in the way of skills, capabilities and knowledge to cope with the rapid advance of automotive technology in consumer transportation. They will also provide the latest data and projections which define the future of work in the automotive service industry, including projected personnel needs through 2027 and information about retention rates, turnover and educational resource challenges.
Other topics will include diversity and the return-on-investment of training. Moderated by veteran trainer and executive coach Kim Hickey, the panel will consist of several speakers, including Andy Fiffick, owner of Rad Air Complete Car Care in North Royalton, Ohio.
