ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The skilled labour shortage in the automotive industry is a significant challenge for Australian dealers, and Repco's support for the Capricorn Rising Star Awards is a crucial step in addressing this issue

The Labour Shortage Problem

The shortage of skilled labour in the automotive industry is not a new problem, but it has been exacerbated in recent years, leading to increased competition for skilled technicians and increased costs for dealers

The Capricorn Rising Star Awards, supported by Repco, provide a platform for recognising and rewarding outstanding automotive apprentices, which can help attract and retain top talent in the industry

The Role of Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships play a critical role in developing the skills and expertise needed to service and repair modern vehicles, and the Capricorn Rising Star Awards help to promote and support these programs

By recognising and rewarding outstanding apprentices, the awards help to encourage and motivate young people to pursue a career in the automotive industry

Taking Action

Australian dealers can take action to address the skilled labour shortage by partnering with organisations like Repco and Capricorn to support apprenticeship programs and promote careers in the automotive industry

One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to reach out to local training organisations and explore opportunities for partnering on apprenticeship programs and promoting the Capricorn Rising Star Awards to attract top talent to their dealership
