The need for this Co-Op has developed over the past 10+ years as society changed and the pool of candidates to fill Auto career jobs has dried up. There is a critical shortage of Auto career talent developing as the Auto trades’ men and women age out of the industry. There are too few talented people entering to fill those vacancies which will continue to widen the skills gap.
There will always be Auto jobs regardless of the composition and motive power of tomorrow’s automobile.
The objective of this non-political and not for profit Co-Op is to create and maintain a centralized communication hub that is focused in the field of Auto; Recruiting, Training & Career Paths. Participation in the Co-Op has to be a “must have” for all who touch Auto and must be sustainable.
It is envisioned that the Co-Op starts as a local hub that matures then replicates. It then could become regional comprised of local hubs then progress to the State and National levels and potentially beyond. Auto has the same participants in each geo zone and they all have similar talent needs.
