This week’s key takeaway: Upskill your team to future proof your business   Episode intro: We cannot overstate the importance of training to your business and the industry as a whole. Complaining about a skills shortage is all well and good, but what are you doing about it?    This week, we're speaking to I-CAR’s Jason Trewin (COO) and Gary Wood (Senior Training Specialist) about their increasingly diverse range of training. We’ve been trying to get these boys on the podcast since we started, but they’ve always been too busy training people to find the time to do an interview. But they hadn’t bargained on our editor Sam Street going all the way to Melbourne and literally turning up on their doorstep!   Sam's cross-country trip certainly paid off. Jason and Gary shared so much great insight about what we can do as an industry to upskill our workers.    In this week’s episode you will learn: Why the welding program is so important for any technician How industry roles are diversifying Why more shops are achieving I-CAR Gold Class What I-CAR can offer via their industry partners The rapid growth of multi-skilling The importance of front-of-house training Why I-CAR is diversifying its training offering How training can be a badge of honour for your business Why it’s worth the risk of staff leaving after you’ve trained them up Show links: ** Find Jason on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-trewin-8b8b9959/ ** Get your tickets to Paint & Panel Live: https://paintandpanel.live/ ** Get your tickets to the Paint & Panel Bodyshop Awards: https://www.paintandpanel.com.au/bodyshopawards ** Do you have something unique you want to share with us?
