The Workshop, an interactive classroom environment segmented into 10 bays, was a big technical education hub at Worldpac STX on Aug. 19-23, 2026. Here are some shots from this morning's sessions.
Rob Morrell, senior director of Training at WORLDPAC, oversees more than 500 training courses held across North America, including Worldpac STX. He said he's taken notice of how fast the industry is evolving and has worked to keep up with the educational needs and expectations of shop owners and technicians as the industry moves forward.
"What we're seeing now is a shift in learning that goes beyond the basic skills due to the advancements of technology in high-voltage vehicles. Shop owners who invest in stronger business practices will continue to remain competitive," he said.
