Automotive Skill Panel

The Automotive Skill Panel is an industry-led consortium of over 40 private and public organizations that guide the success of the Automotive Training and Career Opportunities (ATCO) Project.

Skill Panel Members identify and implement strategies to close skill gaps and meet regional employers' needs for a quality workforce in today's highly technical automotive industry. Meeting Notes provide an overview of the group's collaborative activities.

Skill Panel Working Groups comprised of Employers, Educators, and Community-Based Organizations work in partnership to achieve goals and priorities set by Panel members themselves.

Examples of Working Group projects include outreach efforts to:

• Educate Students, Parents, and Career Counselors, on today's advanced technology automotive careers.
• Enroll Employers and Employees in Ongoing Trainings offered throughout the region for career advancement.
• Inform Non-Traditional Audiences and At-Risk Youth about high-wage automotive career options and entry-level GST (General Service Technician) Training programs.
• Identify and address regional “next generation” automotive training needs.
