ADVERTISING FEATURE

GETTING INDUSTRY BEHIND IT

ACC is a huge advocate for training in the auto V industry and places over 500 of our own apprentices into VACC member workshops to give them a great start in the industry.

It's a great contribution from VACC and its member businesses, and something that ultimately provides skilled technicians right across the industry.

People often ask why VACC does this because it's not core business for an association.

This is a conscious decision by VACC to get involved with apprenticeship training and to mentor hundreds of new apprentices into skilled jobs and employment, each year.

We have been doing this since 1985 and have supported thousands of apprentices and new technicians to get into the industry.

It's a collaboration between VACC and its members' workshops but all Victorians reap the benefits.

Afterall, without skilled labour, who will maintain Victoria's 5.2-million vehicle fleet so people can get around?

Who will fix the scooters that deliver thousands of meals every day?

Who will service emergency services vehicles that keep people alive?

Being a VACC member helps the association deliver on this critical skills initiative.

Even for workshops who don't employ an apprentice, being part of the association helps us with this important task.

Automotive business owners who need apprentices should join VACC. They will be part of something bigger and reap the benefits, too.
