This white paper analyzes:
• What trends are impacting the workforce and causing the skills gap for automotive technicians to continually increase
• How stakeholders can collaborate to provide opportunities for future workers
• What is needed for progressing training opportunities for younger workers and upskilling current workers to meet the demands of the changing industry

"It is a priority for MOTOR to support the evolving automotive workforce by continuing to provide accurate, thorough and timely data for new workers in our industry,” said Peter Largen, Executive Vice President, Operations at MOTOR. “MOTOR works closely with industry stakeholders to ensure we are offering solutions that align with the need to develop qualified workers.”

Collaboration among key stakeholders is perhaps the central need for the skills gap to dissolve entirely and ensure employers can hire tomorrow’s technicians. MOTOR contributes to this collaboration by offering premier data for services for OEMs; light-, medium- and heavy-duty data products; software as a service; data as a service and other automotive data solutions that drive the future and needs of the workforce.
